Question 1038310: How would you discover the max amount of chips the company could make for $10,000?
Info: Computer chips are made from the element silicon, which is found in sand. Suppose a company that manufactures computer chips uses the formula C = 10n^2/3 + 1500 to estimate the cost C in dollars of producing n chips.

C=10,000=10n^2/3 +1500.
Divide by 10
1000=n^(2/3)+150
n^(2/3)=850
raise everything to the 3/2 power.
Square root of 850 cubed, or 850^1.5=24781.55, or 24,781 chips
