Question 437547: Aki's bicycle designs has determined that when x hundred bikes are built, the average cost per bicycle is given by C(x)=0.2x^2-0.4x+5.998, where C(x) is in hundreds of dollars. How many bikes should the shop build to minimize the average cost per bike?

C(x)=0.2x^2-0.4x+5.998
The minimum for x = -b/2a
=.4/2*.2
=.4/.4=1
100 bikes should be built to minimize the cost.
