Answer:

$11,714

Explanation:

C(x) = 0.7x² - 462x + 87,944

this is a quadratic equation that opens up

the vertex will be the minimum

From the quadratic formula the x coordinate of the vertex is

x = -b/2a

x = 462/(2 * 0.7)

x = 330

Plug in

c(330) = 0.7(330²) - 462(330) + 87,944

c(330) = 11,714

$11,714
