A manufacturer finds it costs him x + 5x + 7 dollars to produce x tons of an item. At 2 production levels above 3 tons, he must

hire additional workers, and his costs increase by 3(x - 3) dollars on his total production. If the price he receives is $13 per ton regardless of how much he manufactures and if he has a plant capacity of 10 tons, what level of output maximizes his profits?

Answer: The maximum = 3 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost function C(x) = x + 5x + 7

P(×) = 13x - x^2 - 5x -7

If x <3

P= x^2 +8x -7

Differentiating to get x

dp/dx = -2x + 8

X= 8/2

C=4

Maximum will be 3 tons

When x=3

P= 13x - x^2 -5x +7 -3x + 9

When x>3

dp/dx = x^2+5x +2

X = 5/2 = 2.5

Each container must hold exactly 1 litre of water Each container must have a minimum surface area
Arada [10]

The containers must be spheres of radius = 6.2cm

<h3>How to minimize the surface area for the containers?</h3>

We know that the shape that minimizes the area for a fixed volume is the sphere.

Here, we want to get spheres of a volume of 1 liter. Where:

1 L = 1000 cm³

And remember that the volume of a sphere of radius R is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*R^3

Then we must solve:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*R^3 = 1000cm^3\\\\R =\sqrt[3]{  (1000cm^3*\frac{3}{4*3.14} )} = 6.2cm

The containers must be spheres of radius = 6.2cm

To find that you simply divide 75 by 5 and get 15 and in one minute the printer prints 15 pages.
