<span>a. find the number of units of tacos she must sell to minimise her cost.
</span>to find a minimum we need to find the function derivative and make it equal to zero:
dc/dx = 2x - 40 = 0
2x = 40
x = 20
therefore to minimize the cost, she needs to sell 20 units of tacos

<span>b. find the minimum cost.
</span>that can be done by substituting the previous result, 20 tacos, in the original equation:
<span>C(x) = x^2 - 40x + 610
</span>C(20) = (20)^2 - 40(20) + <span>610
</span>= 400 - 800 + 610
= 210
the minimum cost will be 210 dollars

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question :)

The answer is the answer is C and F.

This is found by inserting the equation above into the quadratic formula or -b plus or minus the square root of b^2 - 4ac over 2a.

With that, you find that the first number is a -3, which eliminates choices B and D.

Then, solving the 4ac portion, you find that inside the square root the number is 29, which gives you the last two answer choices.

Hope this helps!
