Check the picture below, that's just an example of a parabola opening upwards.
so the cost equation C(b), which is a quadratic with a positive leading term's coefficient, has the graph of a parabola like the one in the picture, so the cost goes down and down and down, reaches the vertex or namely the minimum, and then goes back up.
bearing in mind that the quantity will be on the x-axis and the cost amount is over the y-axis, what are the coordinates of the vertex of this parabola? namely, at what cost for how many bats?

I’m not sure for y=x but for when x=6 he slope is undefined and there is no y-intercept
Answer:
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to isolate x.
6(x - 8) = 72
Distribute 6.
6x - 48 = 72
Add 48 to both sides.
6x = 120
Divide both sides by 6.
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
hm
isnt is supposed to be x = -5
4x/7-6 = -20
4x/1 = -20
4x =-20
x = -5
Answer:
The number of orders in is equal to the number of orders out in month 4 (April). It appears the solution represents the time at which warehouse shipments caught up with order quantities.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this table to make any sense, we have to assume that the year started with 3 orders in January, and that one order was shipped in January. Then the number of orders was 1 or 2 each month after that, and the number of orders shipped per month was 2 each month after that. That is, the tables represent year-to-date totals of orders in and out.
Alternate Interpretation
If the numbers here are actual orders in and out in each of the listed months, it appears the warehouse is getting better at shipping orders. That is, they are increasing the shipment rate by 2 orders a month each month. They will eventually ship enough to cover the total number of orders in (total of 20 by April), but total shipments through April only amount to 16 orders.
