Answer:

  $562,500 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost will be a minimum where C'(x) = 0.

 C'(x) = 0.56x -0.7 = 0

  x = 0.7/0.56 = 1.25

The cost at that production point is ...

  C(1.25) = (0.28×1.25 -0.7)1.25 +1 = -0.35×1.25 +1 = 0.5625

The minimum production cost is $562,500 per hour for production of 1250 items per hour.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This is different than the minimum cost <em>per item</em>. This level of production gives a per-item cost of $450. The minimum cost per item is $358.30 at a production level of 1890 per hour.

There are 110 calories per 177.4 grams of Cereal X. Find how many calories are in 238.5 grams of this cereal
patriot [66]

Answer: 147.87 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of calories in 238.5 grams of this cereal be represented by x.

Based on the information given, we can form an equation as:

110/177.4 = x/238.5

Cross multiply

177.4 × x = 238.5 × 110

x = (238.5 × 110) / 177.4

x = 147.87

Therefore, there are 147.87 calories in 238.5 grams of this cereal.

7m^2 - 11m - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract (-3m^2 + 10m + 4) from 4m^2 - m + 2:

  4m^2 - m + 2

- (-3m^2 + 10m + 4)   Now distribute the negative sign:

  4m^2 - m + 2

+ 3m^2 - 10m - 4

--------------------------

   7m^2 - 11m - 2 is the final answer.
