Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square.

C(x) = 0.02(x^2 - 1000x  ...)  + 11000

C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 11000 - 5000

C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 6000

C(x) = 0.02(x - 500)^2 + 6000

Now if you look at the answer you will find that the square is completed. That means that number of tractors you could produce is 500 at a cost of 6000

There is a flow to this question that you may have trouble understanding.

First of all the 500^2. That comes from taking 1/2 of 1000 and squaring it. That's what you need to complete the square.

Bur that is not what you have adding into the equation. Remember that there is a 0.02 in front of the brackets.

500^2 = 250000

0.02 * 250000 = 5000

So that number must be subtracted to make the square = 0. When you remove the brackets, you should get 11000 all in all.

So what you have outside the brackets is 11000 - 5000 = 6000

The rest is just standard for completing the square.

Colin has a pad with x pieces of paper on it. For his first class, he wrote on 5 fewer than half of the pieces of paper in the p
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Colin has <em>8 sheets </em>left for his third class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total Number of pieces of papers = x

Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class = 5 fewer than half of the pieces in the pad

Writing the equation:

\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5 ...... (1)

Also, Given that number of pieces of papers used for the 2nd class are 2 more than that of papers used in the 1st class.

\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 2nd class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5+2 = \dfrac{x}2 -3 ...... (2)

Now, number of pieces of papers left for the third class = Total number of pieces of papers in the pad - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class

\text{number of pieces of papers left for the third class = }x-(\dfrac{x}{2}-5)-(\dfrac{x}{2}-3)\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{x}2-\dfrac{x}2+5+3\\\Rightarrow x-x+5+3\\\Rightarrow 8

So, the answer is:

Colin has <em>8</em> <em>sheets </em>left for his third class.
