C(x) = 200 - 7x + 0.345x^2
Domain is the set of x-values (i.e. units produced) that are feasible. This is all the positive integer values + 0, in case that you only consider that can produce whole units.
Range is the set of possible results for c(x), i.e. possible costs.
You can derive this from the fact that c(x) is a parabole and you can draw it, for which you can find the vertex of the parabola, the roots, the y-intercept, the shape (it open upwards given that the cofficient of x^2 is positive). Also limit the costs to be positive.
You can substitute some values for x to help you, for example:
x y
0 200
1 200 -7 +0.345 = 193.345
2 200 - 14 + .345 (4) = 187.38
3 200 - 21 + .345(9) = 182.105
4 200 - 28 + .345(16) = 177.52
5 200 - 35 + 0.345(25) = 173.625
6 200 - 42 + 0.345(36) = 170.42
10 200 - 70 + 0.345(100) =164.5
11 200 - 77 + 0.345(121) = 164.745
The functions does not have real roots, then the costs never decrease to 0.
The function starts at c(x) = 200, decreases until the vertex, (x =10, c=164.5) and starts to increase.
Then the range goes to 164.5 to infinity, limited to the solutcion for x = positive integers.
A score of 85 would be 1 standard deviation from the mean, 74. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, we know that 68% of normally distributed data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean. This means that 100%-68% = 32% of the data is either higher or lower. 32/2 = 16% of the data will be higher than 1 standard deviation from the mean and 16% of the data will be lower than 1 standard deviation from the mean. This means that 16% of the graduating seniors should have a score above 85%.
62 dollars i think tho i'm not very sure, sorry for not knowing exactly but god bless and have a good day/night/week/month/year/life <3
