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

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Since the question doesn't mention in what tide the answer should be, I will be giving a solution to both, the high and low tide. Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a cosine function, where time is measured in hours past high

tide:  y=4cos30x + 10

Using a cosine function, where time is measured in hours past low

tide:  y = 4cos[30(x-6)]+10

Northwest Molded molds plastic handles with a variable cost of $1.00 per handle. The fixed cost to run the molding machine is $2
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

To break even it  must be molded 1280 handles weekly.

The profit if 1500 handles are produced and sold is $440

Step-by-step explanation:

To break even, the amount of total cost must be the same as the amount of revenues.  

Total Cost is Fixed cost plus unitary variable cost multiplied by the produce quantity.  

Total cost= FC + vc*Q

Where

FC=Fixed cost

vc=unitary variable cos

Q=produce quantity

Revenue= Price * Q

Break even FC + vc*Q=Price * Q

Isolating Q

FC=(Price * Q)-(vc*Q)

FC=(Price-vc) * Q

Q= FC/(Price-vc)

Q= $2560/($3.00-$1.00)=1280

If we sold 1500 handles

Profit = Revenue- Total cost =(Price * Q)-(FC + vc*Q)

P=$3.00 *1500-$2560 - $1.00*1500=

P=$4500-$2560-$1500=440

Which table has greater constant of proportionality?
marissa [1.9K]

The table with greater proportionality is table 3.

<h3>What is constant proportionality?</h3>

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities.

As, the constant proportionality is

k= y/x

For table 1,

k = 1/1 = 2/2 =1

For table 2,

k = 6/1= 12/2 = 2

For table 3,

k = 5/1 = 10/2 = 5

For table 4,

k = 4/1 = 8/2 = 4

Hence, table 3 is with greater proportionality.
