Y= 16x2 - 8x+1 does not intersect the c axis. It only peaks at it. The parabola does not go over it.

The vertex of the parabola occurs at (1/4, 0) or (0.25, 0). Since the coefficient of x^2 is a positive number, then it the parabola opens upward. The vertex is the minimum point on the graph, which happens to occur along the x-axis at (1/4, 0) as the only x-intercept.

Therefore, the graph intersects the x-axis only once, at the vertex.

Alex bought all the string needed for $125.

It costs $18 for the remaining materials to make each puppet.

So if we closely observe then we see that here $125 is the fixed cost because its not going to change with number of puppets.

And the variable cost is $18.

In this case we can model a Total cost function C(x) for for x number of puppets as below

$C(x)=125+18x\\ \\ \text{Here x is the number of puppets}\\ \\ \text{Since in our case the number of puppets is 50 so replace x by 50 we get }\\ \\ C(50)=125+18*50\\ \\ C(50)=125+900\\ \\ C(50)=1025 \ dollar.$
