Aki's bicycle design has determined that when x hundred bicycles are built, the average cost per bicycle =0.9x^2-1.7x+10.861, when c(x) is in hundreds of dollars. how many bicycles should the shop build to minimize the average cost per bicycle?
c(x)=0.9x^2-1.7x+10.861 =
c(x)=0.9(x^2-1.889x)+10.861=
my question is how do they come up with the 1.889 in the equation?

About 89 bicycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C(x) is average cost (in hundreds of dollars) per bicycle and x be the number bicycles built (in hundred).

We need to find the number of bicycles for which the average cost per bicycle is minimum.

The vertex form of a parabola is

          .... (1)

where, a is constant and (h,k) is vertex.

Taking out 0.9 from the parenthesis.

If an expression is , then we add in the expression to make it perfect square.

Here, b=-1.889,

Add an d subtract 0.892 in the parenthesis.

            ... (2)

From (1) and (2) we get

Aki should built 0.892 hundred bicycle to minimize the average cost per bicycle.

Therefore, the Aki should built 89 bicycle to minimize the average cost per bicycle.

step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure it would take 20 hours because it's half the men so you multiply the number of hours it takes by 2

c) the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"

step-by-step explanation:

town a, median = q2 = 30

town b, median - q2 = 25

so the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"
