You have two choices.
The minimum possible cost to operate your bat factory for a day is $390,
and there are two quantities of bats that both cost that much.
One possibility:
Produce no bats at all per day. Zero. Nada. None.
Cost = 0.06(0)² - 7.2(0) + 390 = $390 per day.
The other choice:
Produce 120 bats per day.
Cost = 0.06(120²) - 7.2(120) + 390
= 0.06(14,400) - 7.2(120) + 390
= 864 - 864 + 390
= $390 per day.
If you produce any other number of bats in a day ... more than zero
but not 120 ... then it will cost you more than $390 to operate the factory
that day.
Answer:
-6.5 would be your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
No it is not because you can't make it into a fraction.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) Y(x) = {900, x≤30; 900-40(x-30), x>30}
b) T(x) = {900x, x≤30; 2100x-40x², x>30}
c) dT/dx = {900, x≤30; 2100-80x, x>30}
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The problem statement gives the function for x ≤ 30, and gives an example of evaluating the function for x = 35. So, replacing 35 in the example with x gives the function definition for x > 30.

__
b) The yield per acre is the product of the number of trees and the yield per tree:
T(x) = x·Y(x)

__
c) The derivative is ...

_____
The attached graph shows the yield per acre (purple, overlaid by red for x<30), the total yield (black), and the derivative of the total yield (red). You will note the discontinuity in the derivative at x=30, where adding one more tree per acre suddenly makes the rate of change of yield be negative.
