A supply company manufactures copy machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each copy machine) depends on the numb

er of machines made. If
x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C(x) -0.4x-112x+17,167. What is the minimum unit cost? I got the answer $140 but apparently it was wrong.

Answer:

  $9327

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, the cost function is supposed to be ...

  C(x) = 0.4x^2 -112x +17167

This can be rewritten to vertex form as ...

  C(x) = 0.4(x^2 -280) +17167

  C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +17167 -0.4(19600)

  C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +9327

The vertex of the cost function is ...

  (x, C(x)) = (140, 9327)

The minimum unit cost is $9327.

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

You found the number of units that result in minimum cost (140 units), but you have to evaluate C(140) to find the minimum unit cost.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Correct answer:  Db = 411 .18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

α = 27°  angle of depression

Dt = 462 ft  distance from the top of lighthouse to the boat

Db = ?   distance from the base of the lighthouse to the boat

Here we have a right triangle with hypotenuse Dt and one leg Db.

By definition

cos α = Db / Dt  ⇒ Db = Dt · cos α

Db = 462 · cos 27° = 462 · 0.89 = 411 .18 ft

Db = 411 .18 ft

God is with you!!!
