Answer:
Therefore the company have to print either 47 or 12 t-shirt for its production cost to be $40 or less.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The function that models the production cost is
[tex]f(t)=0.1 t^2-6t+100[/tex]
To find the number of t-shirt, we put f(t)=40 in given function.
∴40= 0.1t²-6t+100
⇒ 0.1t²-6t+100-40=0
⇒0.1 t²- 6t +60=0
⇒t²-60t+600=0
Applying quadratic formula [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex], a=1, b= - 60 and c=600
[tex]t=\frac{-(-60)\pm\sqrt{(-60)^2-4.1.600}}{2.1}[/tex]
= 47.32,12.67
≈47, 12
Therefore the company have to print either 47 or 12 t-shirt for its production cost to be $40 or less.
