Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

Step-by-step explanation:
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
