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.

5x-2y=-6 3x-4y = -26​
snow_tiger [21]

For this case we must solve the following system of equations:

5x-2y = -6\\3x-4y = -26

We multiply the first equation by -2:

-10x + 4y = 12

We add the new equation with the second one:

-10x + 3x + 4y-4y = 12-26

We have different signs subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

-7x = -14\\x = \frac {-14} {- 7}\\x = 2

Now we find the value of the variable "y":

3x-4y = -26\\3 (2) -4y = -26\\6-4y = -26\\-4y = -26-6\\-4y = -32\\y = \frac {-32} {- 4}\\y = 8

Thus, the solution of the system is given by:

(x, y) :( 2,8)

Answer:

(x, y) :( 2,8)
