Question

The cost of producing x units of a product is C dollars, where C is given by the function C = 0.25x2 - 80x + 300. What is the cost if no units are produced?

A)
$0
B)
$100
C)
$200
D)
$300 ...?

Answer 1

D) $ 300

Explanation:

Here, the cost ( in dollars ) of x products is defined by the function,

`C=0.25x^2-80x+300`

Since, if the no units are produced,

x = 0,

Hence, the cost would be,

`C=0.25(0)^2-80* 0+300`

`=0-0+300`

`=\$ 300`

Option D is correct.

Answer 2

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily deduced.

It is given that
C = 0.25x2 - 80x + 300
When x = 0, then
C = 0 - 0 + 300
= 300 dollars
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option or option "D". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.
