<span>1) production cost f(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 1:

f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300

2) Table that represents the production cost g(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 2:

x        g(x)
0.6     899.58

0.8     899.52

1        899.50

1.2     899.52

1.4     899.58

3) Comparison: do a table for f(x) with the same x-values of the table for g(x).

x            f(x) = </span><span>0.05x^2 − 7x + 300    g(x)

</span><span><span>0.6         295.818                               899.58

0.8         294.432                               899.52

1            293.05                                 899.50

1.2         291.672                               899.52

1.4          290.298                              899.58 </span>

As you can see the values of f(x) are consistently lower than the values of g(x) for the same x-values.

The minimum production cost for company 2 is around 899.50 at x = 1, while the minimum production cost of company 1 is defintely lower (lower than 292.298 for sure, in fact if you find the vertex it is 55).

Answer: Based on the given information, the minimum production cost for company 2 is greater. </span>

It takes 32 hours for a motorboat moving downriver to get from pier A to pier B. The return journey takes 48 hours. How long doe
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is T = 192.12 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat = u \frac{km}{hr}

Speed of current = v \frac{km}{hr}

Let distance between A & B = 100 km

Time taken in downstream = 32 hours

32 = \frac{100}{u +v}

u + v = \frac{100}{32}

u + v = 3.125 ------ (1)

Time taken in upstream = 48 hours

48 = \frac{100}{u -v}

u -v = \frac{100}{48}

u - v = 2.084 ------- (2)

By solving equation (1) & (2)

u = 2.6045 \frac{km}{hr}

v = 0.5205 \frac{km}{hr}

Now the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance

T = \frac{100}{v}

Because un powered raft travel with the speed of the current.

T = \frac{100}{0.5205}

T = 192.12 hr

Therefore the  time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is

T = 192.12 hr

Determine whether f(x) = –5x^2 – 10x + 6 has a maximum or a minimum value.
Blizzard [7]

First,

We are dealing with parabola since the equation has a form of,

y=ax^2+bx+c

Here the vertex of an up - down facing parabola has a form of,

x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}

The parameters we have are,

a=-5,b=-10, c=6

Plug them in vertex formula,

x_v=-\dfrac{-10}{2(-5)}=-1

Plug in the x_v into the equation,

y_v=-5(-1)^2-10(-1)+6=11

We now got a point parabola vertex with coordinates,

(x_v, y_v)\Longrightarrow(-1,11)

From here we emerge two rules:

  • If a then vertex is max value
  • If a>0 then vertex is min value

So our vertex is minimum value since,

a=-5\Longleftrightarrow a

Hope this helps.
