To state: The number of chips that minimum the cost if the equation for the cost in dollars of producing computer chips is
The number of chips that minimize the cost is 1000 and minimum cost is $20.
Given information:
The given equation is
Explanation:
Consider the equation:
Rewrite the equation as shown below:
The equation of the parabola is
Now compare the equation
The value of a is 0.000015 and that of k is 20.
Now the number of chips that minimize the cost is:
Substitute the value of C as 20,
Therefore, the number of chips that minimize the cost is 1000 and their minimum cost is $20.
