Question

Suppose the cost per ton y to build an oil platform of x thousand tons is approximately by:What is the cost per ton for x=300?

Answer 1

The cost per ton of x = 300 is 318.18

To solve this, we need to reaplce x in the function:

`\begin{gathered} \begin{cases}f(x)=(262,500)/(x+525) \\ x=300\end{cases} \\ f(300)=(262,500)/(300+525)=(262,500)/(825) \\ f(300)\approx318.18 \end{gathered}`

And then we get the anser
