Suppose the cost function for the production of a new item is given by the equation

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

x=80

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the derivative of C(x) using the power rule

C'(x)=4x-320

Set this equal to 0 and solve for x

4x=320

x=80.

Sign analysis shows this to be a minimum because for values larger than 80 C'(x)>0 and for values less than 80 C'(x)<0

If I have 44 ounces of drink, and 12 oz in each bottle, how many bottles can I fill

dybincka [34]

Hello!

We must use division to solve this question because we have to divide 44 oz of drink equally in bottles.

44 ÷ 12 = 3.67 (6 Repeating)

Check your answer by multiplying:

12 × 3 = 36

12 × 4 = 48

So, you can fill about 3 bottles equally with 44 oz of drink.
