can anyone do this?
That is a parabola. Find the y coordinate of its vertex. That will be the minimum.
The x coordinate will give you the number of x boxes and the y coordinate divided by the x coordinate will the be cost per x box.
are you in calculus?
yes and idk what that means!!! i have 5 min i could really use the 2 answers if you dont mind :/
How come you left it go until the last minute?
because I couldnt do it haha
pretty sure hes doing a quiz, he asked this earlier
hmmmm
I got $22765900 and 4827.85 per box but I haven't had time to check my work. Anybody else do it?
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y%3D78400%2B550x%2B.01x%5E2 min{y = 78400+550 x+0.01 x^2} = -7484100 at x = -27500
So $272.15 per box
you should check your work @Mertsj
Didn't have time. He only had 5 minutes and then I typed it in wrong.
do I smell procrastination? @brant1mj

something seem wrong ... the red number is chosen by a random number generator ... it seems to have picked an awful value
