: Minimizing cost.
A company uses the formula C(x)=0.02x2-3.4x+150 to model the unit cost in dollars for producing x stabilizer bars. For what number of bars is the unit cost at its minimum? What is the unit cost at that level of production. This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A company uses the formula C(x)=0.02x^2-3.4x+150 to model the unit cost in dollars for producing x stabilizer bars. For what number of bars is the unit cost at its minimum? What is the unit cost at that level of production.
-------------------
Minimum occurs when x = -b/2a = 3.4/(0.04) = 85
-------------
Unit cost at that level is C(85) = 0.02(85^2)-3.4(85)+150 = $5.50
