A supply company manufactures copy machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each copy machine) depends on the number of machines made. If
x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C(x) = 0.5x^2- 150x +20,960. How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost?

The supply equation of the company is an illustration of a quadratic function

The number of machines that must be made to minimize the unit cost is 150

How to determine the number of units?

The equation of the function is given as:

[tex]C(x) = 0.5x^2- 150x +20960[/tex]

Differentiate the function

[tex]C'(x) = x - 150[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]x - 150 = 0[/tex]

Add 150 to both sides of the equation

[tex]x = 150[/tex]

Hence, the number of machines that must be made to minimize the unit cost is 150
