14. A manufacturer of lighting fixtures has daily production costs of C = 120 − 5x + 0.25x 2 , where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. How many fixtures should be produced each day to yield a minimum cost? What is that minimum cost?

Value of x = 10

Minimum cost (C) = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equation:

120 - 5x + 0.25x²

Find:

Value of x

Minimum cost

Computation:

0.25x² - 5x + 120

x = -[b/2a]

x = -[(-5)/2(0.25)]

x = 10

Value of x = 10

Minimum cost (C) = 120 - 5x + 0.25x²

Minimum cost (C) = 120 - 5(10) + 0.25(10)²

Minimum cost (C) = 45

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
