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

Devon is 30 years older than his son, Milan. The sum of both their ages is 48. Using the variables d and m to represent the ages
statuscvo [17]

Answer+Step-by-step explanation:

m = man's age

s = son's age

m=s+36

(m+8)=3*(s+8)

Resolves to: s=10, m=46

So the man is 46 (=10+36).

In 8 years, son is 18 (=10+8), man is 54 (=3*18 and 46+8), thank you.
