Answer:

18,646

Step-by-step explanation:

>you can graph the equation on a calculator and see that the minimum is at the point (250, 18646) , so the minimum unit cost is 18,646

>you can use the first derivative to find the minimum

c'(x) = (0.2x²-100x+31,146)' = .4x -100

.4x-100= 0 , so x= 250

c(x=250) = 0.2(250)² -100*250 +31,146 =18,646

What value of b makes the trinomial below a perfect square x^2-bx+100
Aloiza [94]
1. Perfect square trinomials, are 2nd degree polynomials, of the form          a x^{2} +bx+c so that a \neq 0, b \neq 0, c \neq 0, which can be written as perfect squares.

2. For example (x+1) ^{2} = x^{2} +2x+1
 
(3x-1)^{2}= (3x)^{2}-2(3x)+(-1) ^{2}= 9x^{2}-6x+1    


3. Thus x^{2} +2x+1, 9x^{2}-6x+1 are perfect square trinomials.

4. x^{2} -bx+100= x^{2} -bx+ 10^{2}= (x+10)^{2}   or  (x-10)^{2}

5. In the first case -b=20, so b=-20. In the second case, -b=-20, so b=20.

6. b∈{-20, 20}

Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour.If she keeps picking strawberries at the same rate, how many gallon
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

3 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in a half an hour.

Let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour= 60 minutes.

1/2 hour= 30 minutes.

So 2 hours= 120 minutes.

Let us find the number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes by dividing 3/4 by 30.

\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{30}

\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=\frac{3}{4*30}

\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=\frac{1}{40}

Now let us multiply 1/40 by 120 to find the number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 120 minutes(2 hours).

\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=120*\frac{1}{40}

\text{The number of gallons of strawberries picked by Jen in 30 minutes}=3

Therefore, Jen picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.

1. what is the product of 3/4 and - 6/7?
kari74 [83]
Multiplying fractions: multiply numerators and multiply denominators

1. 3/4 X -6/7 = -18/28 = -9/14

2. -2/7 X -3/7 = 6/49

3. 4 because 72/9 is 8.  -72/-9 is 8.  Two negatives makes a positive when multiplying and dividing.
