Answer:

A. 4·10⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you ...

6×10⁵ miles = 15 × (last year's mileage)

Dividing by 15 gives ...

(60×10⁴ miles)/15 = (last year's mileage) = 4×10⁴ miles

_____

<em>Further explanation</em>

An exponent is an indication of repeated multiplication.

10⁵ = 10·10·10·10·10 = 100,000

We can use the associative property of multiplication to rewrite the number of miles:

6×10⁵ = 6·(10·10·10·10·10) = 600,000 = (6·10)·(10·10·10·10) = 60×10⁴

AysviL [449]

Answer:

number of units for cost to be minimum=150

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x^2-600 x+49000

dy/dx=4x-600

dy/dx=0 gives 4x-600=0

4x=600

x=150

d^2y/dx^2=4x

at x=150,d^2y/dx^2=4*150=600>0

so y is minimum at x=150
