Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle with side lengths a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1

To find : Prove that when x > 1, it is a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem and the given side lengths to create an equation. Use the equation to show that this triangle follows the rule describing right triangles. Explain your steps ?

Solution :

For right triangle the Pythagorean theorem is to be satisfied.

i.e. c^2=a^2+b^2

Here, a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1

Substitute the values,

(x^2+1)^2=(x^2-1)^2+(2x)^2

x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1-2x^2+4x^2

x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1+2x^2

LHS=RHS

It is a right triangle.

The cost to produce q items is C(q)=1300+2q2 dollars. Find the marginal cost of producing the 12th item. Interpret your answer i
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: Marginal cost = $46

The cost of production increases by about $46 when one additional unit is produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The cost to produce q items is C(q)=1300+2q^2 dollars.

C(12)=1300+2(12)^2=1588\\\\ C(11)=1300+2(11)^2=1542

The marginal cost of producing the 12th item= C(12)-C(11)

=1588-1542=46

Interpretation : It means , the cost of production increases by about $46 when one additional unit is produced.
