Answer:
a non-negative integer
Step-by-step explanation:
Powers of variables in a polynomial are whole numbers, that is, non-negative integers.
For f(x) to be a polynomial function, the value of n must be a whole number.
Answer:
x ≈ ±20.086/√(t - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
ln(t - 1) + ln(x²) = 6
Recall that lnu + lnv = ln(uv). Then
ln(t - 1) + ln(x²) = ln[(t-1)x²] = 6
Take the natural antilogarithm of each side
(t - 1)x² = e⁶
Divide each side by t - 1
x² = e⁶/(t-1)
Take the square root of each side
x = ±e³/√(t - 1)
x ≈ ±20.086/√(t - 1)
The cost function is
c = 0.000015x² - 0.03x + 35
where x = number of tires.
To find the value of x that minimizes cost, the derivative of c with respect to x should be zero. Therefore
0.000015*2x - 0.03 = 0
0.00003x = 0.03
x = 1000
Note:
The second derivative of c with respect to x is positive (= 0.00003), so the value for x will yield the minimum value.
The minimum cost is
Cmin = 0.000015*1000² - 0.03*1000 + 35
= 20
Answer:
Number of tires = 1000
Minimum cost = 20
