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.
Consider,
. Let's say
then the problem reduces to
. (Do you understand this step?)
So then replacing a again with our definition we get,
.
Answer:
(15,18)
Step-by-step explanation:
write two equations with the information provided.
2x + 3y = 84
x + 4y = 87
use the property of substitution to answer.
x + 4y = 87, x = 87 - 4y
2(87 - 4y) + 3y = 84
174 - 8y + 3y = 84
174 - 84 = 8y - 3y
90 = 5y
90/5 = y
y = 18
Add the value of Y to an original equation. Solve for X
2x + 3(18) = 84
2x + 54 = 84
2x = 84 - 54
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15
F14.33 1425,413 that’s the right number
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 3 = 15
3x = 15 + 3
3x = 18
x = 18/3
x = 6
hope it helps!
