Answer:
production cost f(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 1:
f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300
2) Table that represents the production cost g(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 2:
x g(x)
0.6 899.58
0.8 899.52
1 899.50
1.2 899.52
1.4 899.58
3) Comparison: do a table for f(x) with the same x-values of the table for g(x).
x f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300 g(x)
0.6 295.818 899.58
0.8 294.432 899.52
1 293.05 899.50
1.2 291.672 899.52
1.4 290.298 899.58
As you can see the values of f(x) are consistently lower than the values of g(x) for the same x-values.
The minimum production cost for company 2 is around 899.50 at x = 1, while the minimum production cost of company 1 is defintely lower (lower than 292.298 for sure, in fact if you find the vertex it is 55).
Answer: Based on the given information, the minimum production cost for company 2 is greater.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is the slope so it would be
rise/run
To find the answer,we can set up an equation with an unkown:
Let the recommended daily amount be y mg
y×27% = 650
y×27/100 = 650
y = 650 ÷ 27/100
y = 650 × 100/27
y = 2407.407407...
y ≈ 2407
Therefore, the answer is 2407 mg.
