the total cost for shipping cordless vacuum cleaners across the country can be modeled by C(x)=3/10x^2-6x+11, where x is the number of shipments each month and C(x) is measured in thousands of dollars. How many shipments should the company make each month in order to minimize shipping costs?

Minimum cost The shipping and handling cost $C$ of a manufactured product is modeled by $$ C=4\left(\frac{25}{x^{2}}-\frac{x}{x-10}\right), \quad 0<x<10 $$ where $C$ is measured in thousands of dollars and $x$ is the number of units shipped (in hundreds). Find the shipment size that minimizes the cost. (Hint: Use the root feature of a graphing utility.)
