Suppose c(x) = x3 - 24x2 + 30,000x is the cost of manufacturing x items. Find a production level that will minimize the average cost per item of making x items.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

hence the required minimum production level is 12units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost function expressed as c(x) = x^3 - 24x^2 + 30,000x

The average cost function will be c(x)/x

Dividing the cost function through by x

Average cost function = c(x)/x = x³/x - 24x²/x + 30,000x/x

Average cost function = x²-24x + 30,000

A(x) = x²-24x + 30,000

If the average cost is minimized, hence dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 2x - 24

0 = 2x - 24

-2x = -24

Divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 = -24/-2

x = 12

For the second deriviative

d²A/dx² = 2 which is greater than zero

Hence a production level that will minimize the average cost per item of making x items is 12

Answer 2

The production level that will minimize the average cost per item of making x items is  x = 12

How to obtain the minimum value of a function?

To find the minimum of a continuous and twice differentiable function f(x), we can firstly differentiate it with respect to x and equating it to 0 will give us critical points.

Putting those values of x in the second rate of function, if results in negative output, then at that point, there is maxima. If the output is positive then its minima and if its 0, then we will have to find the third derivative (if it exists) and so on.

For this case, the function in consideration is: [tex]c(x) = x^3 - 24x^2 + 30000x[/tex]

This is cost function for x items' manufacturing.

The average cost per item would be c(x) / x

This gives us a function a(x) as:

[tex]a(x) = c(x)/x = x^2 -24x + 30000[/tex]

For finding  the minimum of a(x), getting its first two derivatives as:

[tex]a'(x) = 2x - 24\\a''(x) = 2 > 0[/tex]

Equating first rate to 0,

[tex]a'(x) = 2x - 24 = 0[/tex] critical point.

Since second rate is positive, the point x = 12 is point of minima, and since only one critical point is there, it is the point on which a(x) is minimum.

Thus, the production level that will minimize the average cost per item of making x items is  x = 12

Carlos cut StartFraction 5 Over 12 EndFraction of a yard of cloth into 5 pieces of equal length. What was the length of each piece of cloth?

Answers

Answer:

Each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlus cut 5/12 of a yard of cloth into 5 pieces of equal length.

To find the length of each piece of cloth, we need to find the quotient between the length of the piece of cloth, and the number of pieces in which we divide it.

This is:

length = [tex]\frac{(5/12)yd}{5} = \frac{5yd}{12*5} = \frac{1yd}{12} \frac{5}{5} = \frac{1 }{12} yd[/tex]

This means that the length of each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.

For all values of x, f(x) = 2x-3 and g(x) = x^2 + 1 a) Find fg(x) Simplify and give your answer in the form ax^2 + b b) Find gf(x).

Answers

Answer:

fg(x) = 2x² - 1

gf(x) = 4x²-12x +10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions f(x) = 2x-3 and g(x) = x^2 + 1

a) f(g(x)) = f(x²+1)

f(x²+1) = 2(x²+1) -3

f(x²+1)= 2x²+2 -3

f(x²+1) = 2x² - 1

fg(x) = 2x² - 1

Hence function fg(x) is 2x² - 1

b) gf(x) = g(2x-3)

g(2x-3) = (2x-3)² + 1

g(2x-3) = (2x-3)(2x-3) + 1

g(2x-3) = 4x²-6x-6x+9 + 1

g(2x-3) = 4x²-12x +10

gf(x) = 4x²-12x +10

All the triangles have 180° total angle measurement.

First question:

114 + 37 + x = 180°

151 + x = 180

x = 180 - 151

x = 29°

Second question:

93 + 46 + x = 180

139 + x = 180

x = 180 - 139

x = 41°

Answer:

In the first question x=29 Because the interior of a triangle adds up to 180.So you will add 114+37=151 , 180-151=29

The second question 93+46=139

180-139=41

x=41

Let's have p represent the number of pages you will read. If you read 10 pages per night, then you are multiplying 10 by the number of nights, which gives you 10n. Because you have already read 25 pages, you want to add to the 10n to give you the equation of p=10n+25

Answers

Answer:

Your answer is the first option, (2,-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug the (x,y) values into both equations, then solve and see if they're true.

For the first equation, plug x (aka 2) and y (aka -1) into the places they belong.

2x + y = 3 would become 2(2) + (-1) = 3 after putting the values in the right spots.

Solve.

2(2) = 4.

4 + (-1) = 3

3 = 3.

That means that (2,-1) is the solution for the first equation, however it also needs to be true for the second. Do the same thing and plug the values in their designated spots.

y = x - 3 will become -1 = 2 - 3.

2 - 3 = -1.

So you're left with:

-1 = -1, which means again that (2,-1) is also the solution for that equation.
