The cost C(in dollars) of producing x widgets is represented by c=4.5x squared. To find the number of widgets produced when the cost is $544.50, we can solve the equation 4.5x^2 = 544.50.
x^2 = 121
x = 11
Therefore, 11 widgets are produced if the cost is $544.50.

what does ^ mean?
i think it means squareds
I'm sorry, but "squareds" is not a proper mathematical term. "Squared" refers to raising a number to the power of two (multiplying it by itself), resulting in a new number that is the original number "squared." For example, 3 squared is 9 (3 x 3 = 9). Similarly, x squared would represent x multiplied by itself, or x^2.
thx
