Problema Solution
Suppose C(x) = x
2 − 10x + 27, x ≥ 0 represents the costs, in hundreds of dollars, to produce
x thousand pens. Find the number of pens which can be produced for no more than $1100.
Answer provided by our tutors
We assume that by no more that $1100 you mean 1100 hundreds dollars.
C(x) = x^2 − 10x + 27
We need to find x when C(x) = 1100:
x^2 − 10x + 27 = 1100

x = 38 thousand pends
38,000 pens can be produced for not more than 1,100 hundreds of dollars or $110,000.
