Key Characteristics of Quadratics

A medical equipment industry manufactures X-ray machines. The unit cost C

 (the cost in dollars to make each X-ray machine) depends on the number of machines made. If x

 machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function =Cx+−0.8x2320x45,930

. How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost?

The graph of a quadratic will be a parabola. The value of C(X) at the vertex will be the lowest cost. So find the x value of the vertex of the parabola. That will be the number of units that give the lowest cost.
