The cost function is
c = 0.000015x² - 0.03x + 35
where x = number of tires.
To find the value of x that minimizes cost, the derivative of c with respect to x should be zero. Therefore
0.000015*2x - 0.03 = 0
0.00003x = 0.03
x = 1000
Note:
The second derivative of c with respect to x is positive (= 0.00003), so the value for x will yield the minimum value.
The minimum cost is
Cmin = 0.000015*1000² - 0.03*1000 + 35
= 20
Answer:
Number of tires = 1000
Minimum cost = 20

<u>Answer:</u>
First mechanic worked for 20 hours and second mechanic worked for 15 hours.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, Two mechanics worked on a car.
The first mechanic charged $45 per hour, and the second mechanic charged $120 per hour.
The mechanics worked for a combined total of 35 hours, and together they charged a total of $2700.
We have to find how long did each mechanic work.
Let the time worked by 1st mechanic be t hours then time taken by 2nd mechanic will be 35 – t hours.
Now, according to given information,
45 x t + 120
(35 – t) = 2700
45t + 120
35 – 120t = 2700
-75t + 4200 = 2700
75t = 4200 – 2700
75t = 1500
t = 20
hence, 1st mechanic worked for 20 hours and 2nd mechanic worked for 35 – 20 = 15 hours.
We know that the won 3/4. So that means that the remaining 1/4 is the games lost, which is 21.
To find the total games played, we simply multiply 21 by 4 to get 4/4, or the total games.
17 . Find the values of g(9) and h(-14) and add them together.
The function equations are given to find their values substitute 9 in g(x) and -14 in h(x)
20. They said f(x) = 2x + 9 and f(x) = 15 , which means they are equal to each other.
So write them as 2x + 9 = 15 , and solve the equation to find the value of x.
25. Here all you have to do is substitute 4 into the f(x) equation to find f(4)and you will have your answer.
Hope this helped!
