A company's daily costs in dollars in producing x items is given by C(x)=0.001x^2-6x+20,000 with C in dollars. Find the production level that will minimize cost. What is the minimum cost? Find Vertex.
Do I use the equation -b/2(a)?
@Vocaloid @Hero @Dude
- i think may be the minim level of this quadratic @dude ?
Yeah that tells us the minimum (x value)
thank you very much
@Allison hope this will help you
HUH?
So if I re-write it, it's y=0.001x^2-6x+20,000
yes and you need just to calcule the minime level of this quadratic - hope you know the way !!!
Uh it's too big to see on my calculator
Yeah they gave you a simple equation Vertex does give you minimum value. You’re right, use -b/2a
But b is already negative, do I keep it negative?
No that changes to positive
So 6/0.001*2
Yes
12,000
Plug that in for x right
Not 12,000 D:
Boi
0.003
Boi recheck with your calculator 6/2*.001
.003
?!?!?!?!
Breh it’s supposed to be in the thousands 6/.002 => 3,000
Oop-
Put that into x to find y
11,000
Yes
