Question 1119852: Assume that it costs a company approximately C(x) = 441,000 + 160x + 0.001x^2
dollars to manufacture x units of a device in an hour at one of their manufacturing centers. How many devices should be manufactured each hour to minimize average cost? What is the resulting average cost of a device?
Quadratic function of the general form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c (with the leading coefficient a > 0)
achieves its minimum at x= .
In your case the minimum is achieved at x = = -80000.
How they will manage to produce negative number of units, I don't know.
It means that there is an error in your post, so I spent my time for nothing, working on it.
