Question

A company's daily cost c, in hundreds of r dollars, to manufacture n items of a certain product can be modeled by the function c^-1(5)=80, Lording to the model, which of the following is the best interpretation of c ^1(5) = 80, where c^1 is the inverse function of c ?
a) The company's daily cost to manufacture 5 items of the product is $80.
b) The company's daily cost to manufacture 5 items of the product is $8,000.
c) The company's daily cost to manufacture 500 items of the product is $80.
d) The company's daily cost to manufacture 80 items of the product is $5.
e) The company's daily cost to manufacture 80 items of the product is $500.

Answer 1

Answer:

e) The company's daily cost to manufacture 80 items of the product is $500.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

c is the cost in hundreds of dollars to manufacture n items. The input is the number of items, and the output is the cost, in hundreds of dollars.

Inverse function:

In the inverse function, the input and the output are exchanged from the original function, that is, in this situation, the input in the cost, in hundreds of dollars, and the output is the number of manufactured items.

c^-1(5)=80

Input of the inverse function is 5, which is the cost, in hundreds of dollars, that is, $500, to manufacture 800 itens. This means that the correct answer is given by option e.
