A printer has a contract to print 100,000 posters for a political candidate. He can run the posters by using any number of plate

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Numbers of posters that can be printed in an hour = no of impression/hour × no of plate utilized in each impression.

= 1000x

Thus, the required number of hours it will take can be computed as:

$\implies \dfrac{100000}{1000x} \\ \\ =\dfrac{100}{x}$

cost per hour = 125

If each plate costs $20 to make, then the total number of plate will equal to 40x

∴

The total cost can be computed as:

$C(x) = (\dfrac{100}{x}) \times 125 + 20 x --- (1)$

$C'(x) = (-\dfrac{12500}{x^2}) + 20 --- (2)$

At C'(x) = 0

$\dfrac{12500}{x^2} = 20$

$\dfrac{12500}{20} = x^2$

$x^2= 625$

$x = \sqrt{625}$

x = 25

$C'' (x) = -12500 \times \dfrac{-2}{x^3} +0$

$C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{x^3}$

where; x = 25

$C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{25^3}$

C''(x) = 1.6

Thus, at x = 25, C'' > 0

As such, to minimize the cost, the printer needs to make 25 metal plates.
