Answer:

a) C(1,000)=288,491.11 $

b) c(1,000)=288.49 $/u

c) dC/dx(1,000)=349.74 $/u

d) x=100 u

e) c=220 $/u

Step-by-step explanation:

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

C(x) = 2,000 + 160x + 4x^{3/2}\\\\C(1,000)=2,000 + 160(1,000) + 4(1,000)^{3/2}\\\\C(1,000)=2,000+160,000+126,491.11= 288,491.11

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

c(x)=C(x)/x\\\\c(1,000)=C(1,000)/1,000=288,491.11/1,000=288.49

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

\frac{dC}{dx} =0+160+4*(3/2)x^{3/2-1}=160+6x^{1/2}\\\\dC/dx|_{1,000}=160+6*(1,000)^{1/2}=160+189.74=349.74

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

c=2,000x^{-1}+160+4x^{1/2}\\\\dc/dx=2,000(-1)x^{-2}+0+4(1/2)x^{-1/2}=0\\\\-2,000x^{-2}+2x^{-1/2}=0\\\\2x^{-1/2}=2,000x^{-2}\\\\x^{-1/2+2}=1,000\\\\x^{3/2}=1,000\\\\x=1,000^{2/3}=100

(e) What is the minimum average cost?

c(x) = 2,000/x + 160 + 4x^{1/2}\\\\C(100)=2,000/100 + 160 + 4(100)^{1/2}=20+160+40=220

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7,-4) and (-11,-2)? In simplest form
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Slope=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope =(y2-y1) /(x2-x1)

A(-7,-4).... x1 =-7,y1 =-4

B(-11,-2)... x2=-11,y1=-2

Slope=(-2-(-4))/(-11-(-7))

Slope=(-2+4)/(-11+7)

Slope=2/(-4)

Slope=-1/2
