Answer:20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of plane = x mph

Speed of plane with wind = 485 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

485 - x

Speed of plane against wind = 445 mph

So therefore, speed of wind =

x - 445

So therefore, equating the 2 equations of speed of wind

485 - x = x - 445

Collect like terms

485 + 445 = x + x

930 = 2x

2x = 930

x = 930/2 = 465 mph

Speed of wind = x = 465mph

So we put this value on any of the equations for speed of wind

Speed of wind = x - 445 = 465 - 445

= 20 mph

So therefore, speed of wind = 20mph

The total cost (in hundreds of dollars) to produce x units of a product is c(x) = (3x-2) / (8x+1), find the average cost for eac
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

a) \frac{74}{10025}

b) \frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}

c) \frac{-24x^2+32x-2}{(8x^2+x)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

For total cost function c(x), average cost is given by \frac{c(x)}{x} i.e., total cost divided by number of units produced.

Marginal average cost function refers to derivative of the average cost function i.e., \left ( \frac{c(x)}{x} \right )'

Given:c(x)=\frac{3x-2}{8x+1}

Average cost = \frac{c(x)}{x}=\frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}

a)

At x = 50 units,

\frac{c(50)}{50}=\frac{150-2}{50(400+1)}=\frac{148}{50(401)}=\frac{74}{10025}

b)

Average cost = \frac{c(x)}{x}=\frac{3x-2}{x(8x+1)}

c)

Marginal average cost:

Differentiate average cost with respect to x

Take f=3x-2\,,\,g=8x^2+x

using quotient rule, \left ( \frac{f}{g} \right )'=\frac{f'g-fg'}{g^2}

Therefore,

\left ( \frac{c(x)}{x} \right )'=\left ( \frac{3x-2}{8x^2+x} \right )'\\=\left ( \frac{3(8x^2+x)-(16x+1)(3x-2)}{(8x^2+x)^2} \right )\\=\frac{24x^2+3x-48x^2-3x+32x+2}{(8x^2+x)^2}\\=\frac{-24x^2+32x-2}{(8x^2+x)^2}
