Aki's Bicycle Designs has determined that when x hundred bicycles are​ built, the average cost per bicycle is given by​ C(x)=0.5x^2-1.5x+4.325, where​ C(x) is in hundreds of dollars. How many bicycles should the shop build to minimize the average cost per​ bicycle?

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
