question

At the Harris foundry, the total daily cost of manufacturing m pieces of metal is represented by the following equation: C (in dollars) = 3 m^2 + m + 9. If the cost of the work produced by 9:00 am is $4,849 and the rate of manufacture after 9:00 am is 10 pieces per hr., (i) how many pieces of metal will have been produced by lunch hour (12 noon)? Hint: use the quadratic formula: m = [{- b \pm \surd(b^2 - 4ac)} / {2a}], and other calculations. (ii) When t represents the number of hours past 9:00 am., express the total cost as a function of t.
