bookChallenge: Minimizing Cost Functions

Task

Swipe to start coding

You will use optimization to minimize a cost function that models production expenses. This task builds on your understanding of optimization from the previous chapter, applying it to a practical scenario.

  • Implement the cost function in cost_function using the input x[0].
  • The function should return the value of the cost for a given production level.
  • The minimize function will use your cost_function to find the production level that results in the lowest cost.
