Hello, Say ATC = Average Total Cost := 1/3 q^2 - 10 q + 100 When I give Plot[ATC,{q,0,30}] the resulting graph gives a minimum below the X-axis at about q=15 When I give q=15 and N[ATC] it evaluates correctly to GTK=25. Does anyone know what am I doing wrong ? Thanks for any effort you take ! ------------- GMT 16.15 Jan Holland ----------- Jan Holland txp at pi.net "A fact is a broken dream"
