Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
Given
g(r) = (r + 14)² - 49
To obtain the zeros, let g(r) = 0 , that is
(r + 14)² - 49 = 0 ( add 49 to both sides )
(r + 14)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )
r + 14 = ± = ± 7 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
r = - 14 ± 7, then
r = - 14 - 7 = - 21 ← smaller r
r = - 14 + 7 = - 7 ← larger r
(2)
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
g(r) = (r + 14)² - 49 ← is in vertex form
with vertex = (- 14, - 49 )
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.
