Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x)=2x^(2)-24x+720

Slope = \frac{dc}{dx}

Differentiating to get the slope;

\frac{dc}{dx} = 4x - 24

Lowest cost is when the slope is zero, therfore ;

⇒ 4x-24 = 0

⇒ x = 6

substituting for x

c(6) = 2(6)^{2}-24(6)+720 = 648

Lowest cost is $648

What is the equation of the parabola with focus (3, 0) and directrix x = –3?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{12} y²

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point (x, y ) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix

Using the distance formula, then

\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-0)^2} = | x + 3 |

Squaring both sides

(x - 3)² + y² = (x + 3)² ← expanding both sides

x² - 6x + 9 + y² = x² + 6x + 9 ← subtract x² + 6x + 9 from both sides

- 12x + y² = 0 ( subtract y² from both sides )

- 12x = - y² ( divide both sides by - 12 )

x = \frac{1}{12} y²
