Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

If C(x) =  the cost of producing x units of a commodity

Then;

then the average cost per unit is c(x)  = \dfrac{C(x)}{x}

We are to consider a given function:

C(x) = 54,000 + 130x + 4x^{3/2}

And the objectives are to determine the following:

a) the total cost at a production level of 1000 units.

So;

If C(1000) = the cost of producing 1000 units of a commodity

C(1000) = 54,000 + 130(1000) + 4(1000)^{3/2}

C(1000) = 54,000 + 130000 + 4( \sqrt[2]{1000^3} )

C(1000) = 54,000 + 130000 + 4(31622.7766)

C(1000) =  54,000 + 130000 + 126491.1064

C(1000) = $310491.1064

\mathbf{C(1000) \approx $310491.11 }

(b) Find the average cost at a production level of 1000 units.

Recall that :

the average cost per unit is c(x)  = \dfrac{C(x)}{x}

SO;

c(x)  =\dfrac{(54,000 + 130x + 4x^{3/2})}{x}

Using the law of indices

c(x)  =\dfrac{54000}{x} + 130 + 4x^{1/2}

c(1000)  = \dfrac{54000}{1000}+ 130 + {4(1000)^{1/2}}

c(1000) =$ 310.49 per unit

(c) Find the marginal cost at a production level of 1000 units.

The marginal cost  is C'(x)

Differentiating  C(x) = 54,000 + 130x + 4x^{3/2} to get  C'(x) ; we Have:

C'(x) = 0 + 130 + 4 \times \dfrac{3}{2} \ x^{\dfrac{3}{2}-1}

C'(x) = 0 + 130 + 2 \times \ {3} \  x^{\frac{1}{2}}

C'(x) = 0 + 130 + \ {6}\  x^{\frac{1}{2}}

C'(1000) = 0 + 130 + \ {6} \  (1000)^{\frac{1}{2}}

C'(1000) = 319.7366596

\mathbf{C'(1000) = \$319.74 \ per  \ unit}

(d)  Find the production level that will minimize the average cost.

the average cost per unit is c(x)  = \dfrac{C(x)}{x}

c(x)  =\dfrac{54000}{x} + 130 + 4x^{1/2}

the production level that will minimize the average cost is c'(x)

differentiating c(x)  =\dfrac{54000}{x} + 130 + 4x^{1/2} to get c'(x); we have

c'(x)= \dfrac{54000}{x^2} + 0+ \dfrac{4}{2 \sqrt{x} }

c'(x)= \dfrac{54000}{x^2} + 0+ \dfrac{2}{ \sqrt{x} }

Also

c''(x)= \dfrac{108000}{x^3} -x^{-3/2}

c'(x)= \dfrac{54000}{x^2} + \dfrac{4}{2 \sqrt{x} } = 0

x^2 = 27000\sqrt{x}

\sqrt{x} (x^{3/2} - 27000) =0

x= 0;  or  x= (27000)^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{27000^2} = 30² = 900

Since  production cost can never be zero; then the production cost = 900 units

(e) What is the minimum average cost?

the minimum average cost of c(900) is

c(900)  =\dfrac{54000}{900} + 130 + 4(900)^{1/2}

c(900) = 60 + 130 + 4(30)

c(900) = 60 +130 + 120

c(900) = $310 per unit

The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs the most.

The numbers in this set are as follows,

26, 17, 9, 12, 18, 21, 9, 14, 18, 23, 15, 7, 20, 18, 17, and 12

26 I

17 II

9 II

12 II

18 III

21 I

14 I

23 I

15 I

7 I

20 I

The number that appears the most is 18!

So the mode of the set of numbers is 18!

Answer:

34.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

690.84 = B × 20.2

690.84/20.2 = B

34.2 = B

Hence,

Base of parallelogram is 34.2 m

Are these equations equivalent? <br> 3 (x+4) = 12 and 3 (x+1) = 4
N76 [4]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify them both.

3x+12=12 and 3x + 3 =4

make them both so they equal 0

3x=0  and 3x-1=0

no, theyre not equal since when they both equal 0, they are not the same equation
