Evaluate the function at the given value of the independent variable and simplify.
-The total cost in dollars for a certain company to produce x empty jars to be used by a jelly producer is given by the function $C ( x ) = 0.5 x + 20,000$. Find $C ( 50,000 )$, the cost of producing 50,000 jars.
A) $\$ 45,000$
B) $\$ 25,000$
C) $\$ 20.50$
D) $\$ 50,020$

To find $C(50,000)$, substitute $x = 50,000$ into the function: $C(50,000) = 0.5(50,000) + 20,000 = 25,000 + 20,000 = \$45,000$.

Evaluate the Function at the Given Value of the Independent C(x)=0.5x+20,000C ( x ) = 0.5 x + 20,000C(x)=0.5x+20,000
