Question

I need to show my work so help please! Algebra 2

The start-up cost of a company is $150,000. It costs $.17 to manufacture each headset. Graph the function that represents the average cost of a headset. How many must be manufactured to result in a cost of less than $5 per headset?

Answer 1

This unit is Rational Functions, by the way. We've been doing stuff with variation and points of discontinuity and rational expressions.

Answer 2

@whpalmer4 ? Sorry I keep asking you, but you're really good.

Answer 3

I was able to make an equation 150,000+0.17h, but that's all.

Answer 4

I think you subtract 0.17 from each side

Answer 5

@keepitsimple Do you know how I can graph it?

Answer 6

h = number of headsets
It costs 150000 + 0.17h to make them
and you want that to be less than 5h, because 5h is how much money they would pay if they made h headsets at $5 each.

So 150000 + 0.17h < 5h

Answer 7

Im not really sure on how to graph it

Answer 8

It's ok. Thanks for trying.

Answer 9

@whpalmer4 Do you know how to do this? I was thinking the cost varied inversely with 0.17h, but I'm not sure.

Answer 10

@amistre64 Can you help me?

Answer 11

@keepitsimple is right

Answer 12

@LilHefner3 I have to graph it. According to the answers in the textbook, it shows the graph being a curve like this, but I still need to write the equation.

Answer 13

Never mind, no one knows how to do it. I just drew a random graph and hope that the teacher is only grading by credit.
