A vehicle factory manufactures cars. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each car) depends on the number of cars made.

If x cars are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x) = 0.5x^2-130x+17,555. What is the minimum unit cost?

Answer:

The minimum cost is $9,105

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>To find the minimum cost differentiate the equation of the cost and equate the answer by 0 to find the value of x which gives the minimum cost, then substitute the value of x in the equation of the cost to find it</em>

∵ C(x) = 0.5x² - 130x + 17,555

- Differentiate it with respect to x

∴ C'(x) = (0.5)(2)x - 130(1) + 0

∴ C'(x) = x - 130

Equate C' by 0 to find x

∵ x - 130 = 0

- Add 130 to both sides

∴ x = 130

∴ The minimum cost is at x = 130

Substitute the value of x in C(x) to find the minimum unit cost

∵ C(130) = 0.5(130)² - 130(130) + 17,555

∴ C(130) = 9,105

∵ C(130) is the minimum cost

∴ The minimum cost is $9,105

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water. the pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Find out the  how much chlorine is in the pool .

To prove

As given

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water.

The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per liter of water.

i.e

2.5 milligrams of chorine = 1 litre of water

There are 8000 gallons of water in the swimming pool.

As 1 gallons = 3.78541 litre (Approx)

Now convert 8000 gallons of water in litres.

8000 gallons = 8000 × 3.78541 litre

                      = 30283.28 litres

Now calculate chlorine in the pool for 30283.28 litres  of waters.

As

2.5 milligrams of chlorine = 1 litre of water

2.5 × 30283.28 milligrams of chlorine = 30283.28 litre of water

75708.2 milligrams of chlorine for 30283.28 litre of water .

Aljan and Bella are both driving from Cleveland to Chicago. Aljan leaves at
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Bella will pass Ajjan after 4h and they will have travelled 260 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the number of hours, "x", that it'll take for Bella to pass Aljan, we need to find the value of "x" that makes both equations equal. Therefore,

60*x + 20 = 65*x\\65*x - 60*x = 20\\5*x = 20\\x = \frac{20}{5} = 4

In order to calculate the distance they traveled, we must use this value for "x" in any of the equations, as done below:

y = 65*4\\y = 260

Bella will pass Ajjan after 4h and they will have travelled 260 miles.
