Answer:
64*(1/4)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
64 is the starting number because it is given, and x represents how many rounds there are. 1/4 represents how much of the teams remain after each round.
we are given
where
F is the number of board feet
d is the diameter (in inches) of the log
Since, we have to minimize F
so, firstly we will find it's derivative
now, we can set it to 0
and then we can solve for d
so, we get diameter as
..............Answer
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.
