Question 147160: I was given this problem and am not sure how to set up the quadratic formula. Could you please help?
"the production department of an electronics company projects the following costs to manufacture a new line of calculators marketing estimates the best retail price for the calculator is $92."
# of calculators cost to produce x calculators
0 $92,000
10 84,200
100 32,000
assuming this relationship is quadratic, find the quadratic function C(x)=ax^2+bx+c
Answer by mangopeeler07(462) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since you have the number of calculators as x, simply plug in that value for x in the formula (0, 10, or 100 in this problem). Then set the result equal to the amount of money it should cost (those amounts given in the problem). I believe this is how you should set it up. I hope this helps!
