6) The cost of a computer system increases with increased processor speeds. The cost C
of a system as a function of processor speed is estimated as C = 1234 - 35 + 1900,
where S is the processor speed in MHz. Find the processor speed for which cost is at a
minimum. [4 marks]​

Answer:

The speed is: 0.0142MHz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]C(s) = 1234s^2 - 35s + 1900[/tex]

Required

The processor speed when the cost is at minimum

First, differentiate C(s) with respect to s

[tex]C(s) = 1234s^2 - 35s + 1900[/tex]

[tex]C'(s) = 2468s - 35[/tex]

The cost is at minimum when [tex]C'(s) = 0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]C' = 2468s - 35 = 0[/tex]

[tex]2468s - 35 = 0[/tex]

Solve for s

[tex]2468s = 35[/tex]

[tex]s=\frac{35}{2468}[/tex]

[tex]s\approx0.0142[/tex]
