Answer:
answer is a but please mark me brainliest if I m correct
2nd degree and in form
ax^2+bx+c
it is a prabola
the minimum cost is the vertex (every parabola has only one, min or max)
minimum cost is the vertex
vertex=-b/(2a)
a=0.4
b=-208
vertex=-(-208)/(2*0.4)
vertex=208/0.8
vertex=260 (means 260 dresses)
that is x value
subsitute for y value
C(x)=0.4(260)^2-208(260)+37365
C(x)=10325
minimum cost is $10,325
Based on the given situation above about Patrick's savings, I can say that the best option for him in order to keep up with the increase 20 years after would be to utilize a compound interest account. The answer would be option B. Notice that with compound interest account, the amount he gets is around $31,000. Hope this helps.
