Question 1096737: Can someone please check what I am doing wrong here in this question. Thank you.
When no more than 110 units are produces, the cost of producing y unites is given by C(x)
C(x)=0.2x^3-25x^2+1504x+26,057
How many units should be produced in order to have the lowest possible average cost?
This is what I did:
I divided by x
0.2x^3/x-25x^2/x+1504x/x+26,057
Now, I put this on google search to get the graph but I have no idea how to find exactly the lowest number. So I move the line while Y decreasing right? And what I see, the lowest number is 62.5, but that's not correct answer. Can someone please explain me this part?
Thank you very much.

One may graph (0.2x^3-25x^2+1504x+26057)/x; each term divided by x
or one may graph 0.2x^2-25x+1504+(26057/x, and I get 74.3 for x and 1104 for the average cost.
In what you have written, the 26057 needs also to be divided by x.
Either way, on a graphing calculator the first function, all divided by x and the second function, where each separate term is divided by x, gives the same curve, as it should.
