This is called a difference of squares which always factors according to the rule for factoring the difference of squares....
(a^2+b^2)=(a+b)(a-b) in this case:
9w^2-16 so
(3w-4)(3w+4)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For the problem, , use rules for simplifying cube roots. Under the operations of multiplication and division, if the roots have the same index (here it is 3) you can combine them.
You can multiply it out completely, however to simplify after you'll need to pull out perfect cubes. Factor 24 and 45 into any perfect cube factors which multiply to each number. If none are there, then prime factors will do. You can group factors together such as 3*3*3 which is 27 and a perfect cube.
Answer:
The minimum cost is $9,105
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>To find the minimum cost differentiate the equation of the cost and equate the answer by 0 to find the value of x which gives the minimum cost, then substitute the value of x in the equation of the cost to find it</em>
∵ C(x) = 0.5x² - 130x + 17,555
- Differentiate it with respect to x
∴ C'(x) = (0.5)(2)x - 130(1) + 0
∴ C'(x) = x - 130
Equate C' by 0 to find x
∵ x - 130 = 0
- Add 130 to both sides
∴ x = 130
∴ The minimum cost is at x = 130
Substitute the value of x in C(x) to find the minimum unit cost
∵ C(130) = 0.5(130)² - 130(130) + 17,555
∴ C(130) = 9,105
∵ C(130) is the minimum cost
∴ The minimum cost is $9,105
