Answer:

<em>The least number of items to produce is 41</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Average Cost</u>

Given C(x) as the cost function to produce x items. The average cost is:

\displaystyle \bar C(X)=\frac{C(x)}{x}

The cost function is:

C(x) = -20x+1681

And the average cost function is:

\displaystyle \bar C(X)=\frac{-20x+1681}{x}

We are required to find the least number of items that can be produced so the average cost is less or equal to $21.

We set the inequality:

\displaystyle \frac{-20x+1681}{x}\le 21

Multiplying by x:

-20x+1681 \le 21x

Note we multiplied by x and did not flip the inequality sign because its value cannot be negative.

Adding 20x:

1681 \le 21x+20x

1681 \le 41x

Swapping sides and changing the sign:

41x \ge 1681

Dividing by 41:

x\ge 41

The least number of items to produce is 41

Determine whether the given function is a solution to the given differential equation. y=cosx+x8​, d^2y/dx^2 + y = x^8 + 56x^6.
Ulleksa [173]

The correct question is:

Determine whether the given function is a solution to the given differential equation. y = cosx + x^8; d²y/dx² + y = x^8 + 56x^6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential equation

d²y/dx² + y = x^8 + 56x^6.

Suppose y = cosx + x^8 is a solution, then differentiating y twice, and adding it to itself, must give the value on the right hand side of the differential equation.

Let us differentiate y twice

y = cosx + x^8

dy/dx = -sinx + 8x^7

d²y/dx² = -cosx + 56x^6

Now,

d²y/dx² + y = -cosx + 56x^6 + cosx + x^8

= 56x^6 + x^8

Therefore,

d²y/dx² + y = x^8 + 56x^6

Which shows that y = cosx + x^8 is a solution to the differential equation.

2. Mr. Abdulla has 160 cows, goats, horses, and chickens on his farm. 19% of the animals are cows, 28% are goats, 13% are horses
siniylev [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

28 + 19 + 13 equal 60%

therefore 40% divided by 60% multiply by 160 gives number of chicks
