Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a triangle and label the sides (picture below):
● the length is 2x+2
● and the width or the height is 6x
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides
● P = 2x+2 + 6x + 2x+2 + 6x
Isolate the similar terms
● P = (2x+2x+6x+6x) + (2+2)
● P = 16x + 4
Answer:
$9327
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, the cost function is supposed to be ...
C(x) = 0.4x^2 -112x +17167
This can be rewritten to vertex form as ...
C(x) = 0.4(x^2 -280) +17167
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +17167 -0.4(19600)
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +9327
The vertex of the cost function is ...
(x, C(x)) = (140, 9327)
The minimum unit cost is $9327.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
You found the number of units that result in minimum cost (140 units), but you have to evaluate C(140) to find the minimum unit cost.
