Question 72609: I am not sure if this is a unit conversion sorry for any confusion.
75. If the cost, C(x), for manufacturing x units of a certain product is given by , find the number of units manufactured at a cost of $9500.
I have tried factoring this by first factoring the equation without the 9500 even inputed. I have tried substituting the 9500 in to the equation in a couple of different ways. The book has given me the answer and if I put the answer into the equation I see that it works but I have no idea how the number was gotten in the first place. There is no explanation in the book please help. Thank you
