In order to find the number of chips that would result in the minimum cost, we take the first derivative of the given equation. Note that the derivative refers to the slope of the graph at a given point. We can utilize this concept knowing that at the minimum or maximum point of a graph, the slope is zero.
Taking the derivative of the given equation and equating it to zero, we have:
y' = (0.000015)(2)x - (0.03)x° + 0
0 = (0.00003)x - 0.03
Solving for x or the number of chips produced, we have x = 1000. We then substitute this value in the given equation, such that,
y = (0.000015)(1000)² - (0.03)(1000) + 35
The minimized cost, y, to produce 1000 chips is then calculated to be $20.
When you have a function of g(-1) you first plug in -1 to all x's then you solve it.
Answer: x=0

Explanation:

<u>1. First find the density of your chain</u>
- Volume = displaced water volume
= Volume of Final level of water - initial level of water
= 20 ml - 15 ml = 5 ml
- Density = 66.7g / 5 ml = 13.34 g/ml
<u />
<u>2. Second, write the denisty of the chain as the weighted average of the densities of the other metals:</u>
Mass of gold × density of gold + mass of other metals × density of other metals, all divided by the mass of the chain.
Calling x the amount of gold, then the amount of other metals is 66.7 - x:
Then, there are 26.47 grams of gold in 66.7 grams of chain, which yields a percentage of:
- (26.47 / 66.7) × 100 = 39.7%
Answer:
1 7/8 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount Yuan has left can be found by multiplying the original amount by the fraction he has left.
__
<h3>used</h3>
After using 1/2 of the broth for soup, the fraction remaining is ...
1 -1/2 = 1/2
The amount Yuan used for gravy is 1/4 of this, or ...
(1/4)(1/2) = 1/8 . . . of the original amount of broth
The total fraction Yuan used was ...
fraction used = fraction for soup + fraction for broth = 1/2 +1/8 = 5/8
<h3>remaining</h3>
Then the fraction remaining is ...
fraction remaining = 1 - fraction used = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8.
The amount remaining is this fraction of the original amount:
(3/8)(5 quarts) = 15/8 quarts = 1 7/8 quarts . . . . remaining
