A medical equipment industry manufactures X-ray machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each X-ray machine) depen

ds on the number of machines made. If X machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x) = 1.2x^2 -600x + 89,966. How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost?

Answer:

x = 250 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by using a graphing calculator or any plotting tool.

We must find the minimum point in the graph. This corresponds to the number of machines that produce the minimum cost.

The equation is

C (x) = 1.2x^2 -600x + 89,966

Please see attached image below

By producing x = 250 units, we obtain the minimum cost

How do you solve 6) n2+7n+15=5 by factoring?
charle [14.2K]
First, you need to set the equation equal to zero:

n^2 + 7n + 10 = 0

Now we factor. We need to find two numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to 10. 

2 + 5 = 7
2 * 5 = 10

Now, we just need to write this as a polynomial:

(n + 2) (n + 5)
is our answer. 

Hope this helps!

Given two points m and n on the coordinate plane, find the slope of line mn, and state the slope of the line perpendicular to li
ololo11 [35]
The slope of the line MN where M (9,6) and N (1,4) can be obtained by obtaining the rate of the rise over the run. This is shown below:

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - 6)/(1 - 9) = (-2)/(-8)
m1 = 1/4

The slope of the line perpendicular to line MN can be obtained by taking the negative reciprocal of the slope of line MN.

m1 = 1/4
m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(1/4) = -4

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to line MN is -4.
