question 188

Multiple Choice

Give two parametric representations for the equation of the parabola.
- $$y = x ^ { 2 } - 8 x + 25$$

• A) \(x = t , y = t ^ { 2 } + 8 t + 25\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } + 9\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• B) \(x = t , y = t ^ { 2 } - 8 t - 25\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 9\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• C) \(x = t , y = t ^ { 2 } + 8 t + 25\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 9\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• D) \(x = t , y = t ^ { 2 } - 8 t + 25\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } + 9\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)

Definitions:

Total Costs

The complete sum of all expenses, direct and indirect, incurred in the production of goods or services.

Average-Fixed-Cost Curve

A graph that shows the average fixed costs of production at different levels of output.

Fixed Cost

Costs that do not vary with the level of output or sales, such as rent, salaries, and insurance, remaining constant regardless of production volume.

Fixed Inputs

Resources used in production that don't change in quantity as the level of production increases or decreases.
