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

Use the quadratic formula to complete the table. To verify your solutions, graph the equations.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

1) Value of Discriminant: -32

Solution Value(s):

x = -2/3 + 2√2i/3

x = -2/3 - 2√2i/3

2) Value of Discriminant: -44

Solution Value(s):

x = -1/3 + √11i/3

x = -1/3 - √11i/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Discriminant is the part of the Quadratic Formula that is under the square root symbol.

If the Discriminant > 0 there are 2 real solutions.

If the Discriminant = 0 there is 1 real solution.

If the Discriminant < 0 there are 2 imaginary solutions.

Equation 1:

3x² + 4x + 4 = 0

Plug this into the Quadratic Formula and solve:

x = -4 ± √-32 all over 6

Value of Discriminant: -32

Obviously, this can be simplified more, but for now, all you need is what is under the square root. Since it is less than 0, there are going to be 2 imaginary solutions.

Continue simplifying to get to the Solution Values. You will end up here:

x = -2/3 ± 2√2i/3

Your two imaginary solutions are:

x = -2/3 + 2√2i/3

x = -2/3 - 2√2i/3

*Note: 2√2i is ALL over 3, not just the √2i*

You can convert this to decimal if you need (but I don’t suggest it):

x = -0.66666 + 0.942809i

x = -0.66666 - 0.942809i

Equation 2:

3x² + 2x + 4 = 0

Plug this into the Quadratic Formula and solve:

x = -2 ± √-44 all over 6

Value of Discriminant: -44

Obviously, this can be simplified more, but for now, all you need is what is under the square root. Since it is less than 0, there are going to be 2 imaginary solutions again.

Continue simplifying to get to the Solution Values. You will end up here:

x = -1/3 ± √11i/3

Your two imaginary solutions are:

x = -1/3 + √11i/3

x = -1/3 - √11i/3

You can convert this to decimal if you need (but I don’t suggest it):

x = -0.33333 + 1.10554i

x = -0.33333 - 1.10554i

Hope this helps!
