The marginal cost of a product can be thought of as the cost of producing one additional unit of output. For​ example, if the ma

rginal cost of producing the 50th product is​ $6.20, it cost​ $6.20 to increase production from 49 to 50 units of output. Suppose the marginal cost C​ (in dollars) to produce x thousand mp3 players is given by the function Upper P (x )equals x squared minus 120 x plus 8600. A. How many players should be produced to minimize the marginal​ cost?

Answer:

60 players should be produced to minimize the marginal cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the problem instructions, the marginal cost function is:

P(x) = x^{2} -120x+8600

Then, to find the x players at P(x)\alpha would has its minimum value, we have to find the first derivative as follows:

\frac{dP(x)}{dx} =2x-120

And the minimum value is determined when:

\frac{dP(x)}{dx} =0

Then, we solve for x, and these would be the players produced to minimize the marginal cost:

0=2x-120\\x=\frac{120}{2} =60

That means at least 60 thousand players must be produced in order to minimize the marginal cost.

Find the area of the region bounded by the graphs of y = x, y = −x + 4, and y = 0.
Marrrta [24]
The line y = x and y = -x + 4 intersect when at the point (2, 2).

Expresing y = -x + 4 in terms of x, we have x = 4 - y.

Thus, the area of the region bounded by the <span>graphs of y = x, y = −x + 4, and y = 0 is given by

\int\limits^2_0 {(y-(4-y))} \, dy = \int\limits^2_0 {(y-4+y)} \, dy \\  \\ = \int\limits^2_0 {(2y-4)} \, dy= \left[y^2-4y\right]_0^2 =|(2)^2-4(2)| \\  \\ =|4-8|=|-4|=4

Therefore, the area bounded by the lines is 4 square units.

State the explicit form of the pattern: 4, 9, 14, 19, ... A) an = n + 5 B) an = 2n - 5 C) an = 2n - 1 D) an = 5n - 1
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(D) an = 5n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is generated by substituting a value for n.

The first term of the sequence is 4

So when n = 1

The formula is an = 5n - 1

a1 = 5(1) - 1

a1 = 5 - 1

a1 = 4

The second term of the sequence is 9.

So n = 2

a2 = 5(2) - 1

a2 = 10 - 1

a2 = 9

To find the next value you just have to substitute the next value for n.
