An aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each airplane engine) depends on t

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Minimum unit cost = 5,858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function : C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

To find the minimum unit cost :

Take the derivative of C(x) with respect to x

dC/dx = 2x - 520

Set = 0

2x - 520

2x = 520

x = 260

To minimize unit cost, 260 engines must be produced

Hence, minimum unit cost will be :

C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

Put x = 260

C(260) = 260^2−520(260) + 73458

= 5,858

Each day her goal is to make 4 more baskets than she made thr day before. If she makes 10 baskets the first day and meets her go

irina [24]

Answer:

Janelle will make 62 baskets on 14th day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of goals on 1st day = 10

We need to find the number of goals on 14th day.

Solution,

Since Janelle made 10 goals on 1st day and want to make 4 more basket from the day before.

So we can say that;

$a_1=10$ and $d=4$

And also $n=14$

here $a_1$ = first term

d = common difference

n = number of terms

Now we apply the formula of A.P.

$T_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

now substituting the given values, we get;

$T_{14}=10+(14-1)4\\\\T_{14}=10+13\times 4\\\\T_{14}=10+52 =62$

Hence Janelle will make 62 basket on 14th day.

PLEASE HELP 4 QUESTIONS 90 POINTS

kondor19780726 [428]

1. n^2 -8n +16 = 25

Subtract 25 from both sides

n^2 - 8n + 16 - 25 = 0

Simplify

n^2 - 8n - 9 =0

Factor

(n-9)(n+1) = 0

Solve for n

n-9 = 0, n = 9

n+1 = 0, n = -1

Solution: 9,-1

2. C = b^2/25

Multiply both sides by 25:

25c = b^2

Take square root of both sides

b = +/-√25c

Simplify:

b = 5√C, -5√C

3. d = 16t^2 +12t

subtract d from both side:

16t^2 + 12t -d =0

Use quadratic formula to solve:

t = (3 +/-√(9-4d))/8

4. 5w^2 +10w =40

Subtract 40 from both side:

5w^2 + 10w -40 = 0

Factor:

5(w-2)(w+4)=0

Divide both sides by 5:

(w-2)(w+4)=0

Solve for w:

w-2 = 0, w = 2

w+4=0, w = -4

Solution: 2,-4

What is the length of the longest side ?

exis [7]

Answer:

11 feet (Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the longer side be l and the shorter side be b.

We know that,

→ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( longer side + shorter side )

Here,

Perimeter of rectangle is 32 feet.

→ 32 = 2 (l + b)

→ 32 = 2l + 2(5)

→ 32 = 2l + 10

→ 32 - 10 = 2l

→ 22 = 2l

→ $\sf \dfrac{22}{2}$ = l

→ 11 = l

→ 11 feet = longer side

$\therefore$ Length of the longer side is 11 feet.
