Question 1030574: For each quadratic function, state the vertex and then graph the function
The cost equation used by the R & E Manufacturing Co. Is C(h) =2h^2 - 8h + 12, where h is the number of hours it takes to produce a particular product and C(h) Isa the cost of procuction in hundreds of dollars. What is the minimum cost possible?

-------
Minimum occurs when x = -b/(2a) = 8/(2*2) = 2
-----------------------
C(2) = 2*4-8*2+12 = 4
