Answer: Let's say the first number is x, the next one is x+1, and so on

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = -51

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -51

3x + 3 = -51

3x = -54

x = -18

Super confused definitely need help on this
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

(x-5)(x+8)=x^2+3x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

(x-5)(x+8)

To multiply, distribute the left to the terms on the right:

=(x-5)(x)+(x-5)(8)

Distribute:

=(x^2-5x)+(8x-40)

Combine like terms:

=(x^2)+(-5x+8x)+(-40)

Simplify:

=x^2+3x-40

Therefore:

(x-5)(x+8)=x^2+3x-40

The cost function in a computer manufacturing plant is C(x) = 0.28x^2-0.7x+1, where C(x) is the cost per hour in millions of dol
Licemer1 [7]

9514 1404 393

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.
