Answer:
[tex]T(x)= 0.04x^2+64x+142[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of Functions
We are given the functions for the cost of two generators:
[tex]C(x) = 0.03x^2+26x+24[/tex]
[tex]K(x) = 0.01x^2+38x+118[/tex]
We are required to find the function for the sum of the costs of the two generators:
T(x)= C(x)+K(x)
We'll add both functions:
[tex]T(x)= 0.03x^2+26x+24+ 0.01x^2+38x+118[/tex]
To find the sum of both functions, we collect like terms:
[tex]T(x)= (0.03+0.01)x^2+(26+38)x+(24+118)[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{T(x)= 0.04x^2+64x+142}[/tex]
