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

How to work out 5-[5+8÷4-1]
rodikova [14]

PEMDAS (order of operations rules) require that we perform operations in a certain order: anything inside parentheses first, followed by any exponentiation, followed by mult. and div., finally followed by addition and subtraction.

Thus, we must evaluate 5+8÷4-1 first, as it's inside parentheses. Focusing on the division first, we get 5+8÷4-1 = 5 + 2 - 1, or 6.

Then we have 5 - [6], which comes out to -1.
