akis bicycle designs has determined that when x hundred bicycles are built the average cost per bicycle is given by c(x)=0.5x^2-0.6x+6.455,where C(x) is in hundreds of dollars how many bicycles should the shop build to minimize the average cost per bicycle
the shop should build ? bicycles

Since the slope is 0.5 > 0, the value will be the x-coordinate of the vertex (x,y).
x = -b/2a
b = -0.6
a = 0.5
x = 0.6/1 = 0.6 bycicles, so1 bycicle since it makes no sense to build 0.6 of a bycicle.
