Suppose that the cost function for the production of a particular item is given by the funtion C(x)=2x^2-320x+12020, where x represents the number of items. How many items should be produced to minimize the cost? Explain your answer
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "For a quadratic the minimum of the function occurs where x = -b/(2a).
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:: x = 320/(2*2) = 80 items
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
