The equation for the cost in dollars of producing computer chip is y = .000015x^2 - .03x +35. Where X is the number of chips produced. Find the number of chips that minimizes the cost. What is the cost for that number of chips?

The equation for the cost in dollars of producing computer chips

The equation for the cost in dollars of producing computer chips is C = 0.000015x^2 - 0.03x + 35, where x is the number of chips produce. Find the number of chips that minimizes the cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)
