If the discriminant of a quadratic equation, given by B^2-4AC is positive, it has 2 real solutions. If 0, it has 1 real solution and if negative it has 0 real solutions.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>The answer is :</u>
<u>x₁ = 4</u>
<u>x₂ = -4</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the equation using square roots.
X^2+16=0
x² + 16 = 0
x² = -16 (Adding 16 at both sides of the equation)
√x² = i√16 (Square root to both sides of the equation)
x = +/- 4i (Roots of the solution)
<u>x₁ = 4i</u>
<u>x₂ = -4i</u>
Answer:
$9327
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, the cost function is supposed to be ...
C(x) = 0.4x^2 -112x +17167
This can be rewritten to vertex form as ...
C(x) = 0.4(x^2 -280) +17167
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +17167 -0.4(19600)
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +9327
The vertex of the cost function is ...
(x, C(x)) = (140, 9327)
The minimum unit cost is $9327.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
You found the number of units that result in minimum cost (140 units), but you have to evaluate C(140) to find the minimum unit cost.
