The minimum cost is achieved when 150 trees are produced giving a minimum cost of $27.5

Polynomial is an expression that involves the <em>operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication of variables.</em>

Let C represent the cost for buying and caring for n trees. Given that:

C = 0.001n² - 0.3n + 50.

The minimum cost is at dC/dn = 0, hence:

dC/dn = 0.002n - 0.3

0.002n - 0.3 = 0

0.002n = 0.3

n = 150

C(150) = 0.001(150)² - 0.3(150) + 50 = 27.5

The minimum cost is achieved when 150 trees are produced giving a minimum cost of $27.5
