<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>

–4b + 8c + 12 – 8b – 2c + 6
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

-4-8= -12

8-2=6

12+6=18

-12b+6c+18

Greatest common factor = 6

-12/6=-2

6/6=1

18/6=3

D 6(-2b+1c+3)

-12(2)+6(-3)+18

-24+(-18)+18

Can anyone show me the steps in order solve this problem
STatiana [176]
M∠A = 42°   [isosceles triangle]

m∠B = 180 - 42 - 42 = 96°  [in a triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180°]

m∠C = 180 - 96 - (x+12)
m∠C = 84 - x - 12
m∠C = 72 - x

2x+9 + 3x-1 + 72-x = 180
4x + 80 = 180
4x = 180 - 80
4x = 100
x = 100/4
x = 25

m∠C = 72 - x = 72 - 25 = 47°
