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.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the volume of the cylinder. The formula for calculating a cylinder's volume is:
We know the height of the cylinder is 8 feet. We are given the diameter, the distance from edge to edge through the center. We want to find the radius, the distance from the edge to the center.
The radius is half the diameter.
- r = d/2
- r= 10 ft/2
- r=5 ft
We know both variables (h= 8ft and r=5 ft) and can substitute them into the formula.
Solve the exponent.
- 5 ft * 5ft = 25 ft²
Multiply the numbers in parentheses.
The volume of the cylinder is <u>200π cubic feet and choice C is correct.</u>
