If the cost, C, for manufacturing x units of a certain product is given by c=x^2-5x+65, find the number of units manufactured at a cost of 13,865.

9514 1404 393

  120

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it pretty easy to obtain the solution by graphing ...

  c(x) -13865 = 0

The positive value of x that makes this so is x = 120.

120 units will have a cost of 13,865 to manufacture.

If you like to solve this algebraically, you can probably do it most easily by completing the square.

  x^2 -5x = -65 +13865

  x^2 -5x +6.25 = 13806.25 . . . . . add the square of (-5/2)

  (x -2.5)² = 13806.25

  x -2.5 = √13806.25 = 117.5 . . . . only the positive square root is interesting

  x = 117.5 +2.5 = 120

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.  

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
