Question

A supply company manufactures copy machines. The unit cost of C (the cost in dollars to make each copy machine) depends on the number of machines made. If x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C(x)=0.4x^2-232x+38,207. How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost? Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each copy machine) depends on the number of machines made. If x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x) = 0.8x ^ 2 - 256x +25,939 .
