The cost, in dollars, of producing x yards of a certain fabric is C(x) = 1500 + 12x − 0.1x2 + 0.0005x3. (a) Find the marginal co

st function. C'(x) = (b) Find C'(500) and explain its meaning. What does it predict? C'(500) = and this is the rate at which costs are increasing with respect to the production level when x = . C'(500) predicts the cost of producing the yard. (c) Compare C'(500) with the cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) The cost of manufacturing the 501st yard of fabric is C(501) − C(500) = − 45,000 ≈ , which is approximately C'(500).

Answer:

(a) The marginal cost function is 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x^2

(b) C'(500) = $287. C'(500) indicates the rate at which cost is rising with respect to production level of the fabric when x = 500.

C'(500) predicts the cost of producing the 500th yard of fabric.

(c) C'(500) = $287

The cost of manufacturing the 501st yard, C(501) = $287.6505.

C(501) is approximately the same as C'(500).

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The marginal cost function is obtained by differentiating the cost function (C) with respect to the number of yards of fabric produced (x)

C(x) = 1500 + 12x - 0.1x^2 + 0.0005x^3

C'(x) = 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x^2

(b) C'(x) = 12 - 0.2x + 0.0015x^2

C'(500) = 12 - 0.2(500) + 0.0015(500)^2 = $287. This means that cost is rising at a rate with respect to the production level when x = 500.

C'(500) = $287 predicts that the cost of producing the 500th yard of fabric is $287.

(c) C(x) = 1500 + 12x - 0.1x^2 + 0.0005x^3

C(501) = 1500 + 12(501) - 0.1(501)^2 + 0.0005(501)^3 = $287.6505 is approximately the same as C'(500) which is $287

The graph of f(x) = 2x + 1 is shown below. Explain how to find the average rate of change between x = 0 and x = 2.
maksim [4K]
The last description actually clarifies the given equation. The equation should be written as: f(x) = 2ˣ +1. The x should be in the exponent's place. 

The average rate of change, in other words, is the slope of the curve at certain points. In equation, the slope is equal to Δy/Δx. It means that the slope is the change in the y coordinates over the change in the x coordinate. So, we know the denominator to be: 2-0 = 2. To determine the numerator, we substitute x=0 and x=2 to the original equation to obtain their respective y-coordinate pairs.

f(0)= 2⁰+1 = 2
f(2) = 2² + 1 = 5

So, the slope is equal to:

Average rate of change = (5 - 2)/(2 - 0)
Average rate of change = 3/2 or 1.5

Assuming that a computer has been used to compute a P-value = 0.01635, what can we conclude about the following situation? A sim
Arada [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, we would write the hypothesis.

For the null hypothesis,

H0 : µ = 70

For the null hypothesis,

Ha : µ > 70

This is a right tailed test because of the symbol of greater than.

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the level of significance is greater than the p value and accept the null hypothesis if the level of significance is lesser than the p value.

Therefore, since the significance level, 0.05 > p value, 0.01635, then we would reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence that the mean speed of all cars is greater than the posted speed limit of 70 mph.

Which of the following equations is equivalent to log(y)= 3.994 ?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D: y = 10^{3.994}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

log(y)= 3.994

Solution:

A logarithm base b of a positive number x satisfies the following definition:

y =log_b(x) => b^y =x

For x > 0, b >0, b \neq 1

Also if no base  b  is indicated, the base of the logarithm is assumed to be  10 .

Thus, in log(y)= 3.994 base b is not indicated. so its base is assumed to be 10

now

log_{10}(y)= 3.994

Then

y = 10^{3.994}
