An Aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars and each airplane engine) depends on a number of engines made. If x engines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C(x)=0.5 X² -280 X + 52506. What is the minimum unit cost?

you notice that C's graph is just a parabola, so its minimum is at the vertex, when x = -b/2a = 280
