Answer:
1000 tennis balls will produce the minimum cost
Step-by-step explanation:
Daily cost equation of tennis ball : [tex]C(x)=200-10x+0.01x^2[/tex]
Where C(x) is the total cost in dollars
x is the number of tennis balls produced
We are supposed to find number of tennis balls will produce the minimum
cost.
Lead coefficient = 0.01
The lead coefficient is positive, the parabola opens up.
Thus ,the minimum is at the vertex.
[tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]
So, [tex]x= \frac{10}{0.01}\\x=1000[/tex]
Substitute the value of x in given equation:
C(x)=200-10(1000)+0.01(1000)^2
C(x)=200
Hence 1000 tennis balls will produce the minimum cost
