Correct is;

A manufacturer produces bolts of a fabric with a fixed width. The cost of producing x yards of this fabric is C = f(x) dollars.

(a) What is the meaning of the derivative f '(x)?

What are its units?

(b) In practical terms, what does it mean to say that f '(2000) = 10?

(c) Which do you think is greater,

f '(200) or f '(600)? What about f '(4000)?

Answer:

A) f'(x) means the rate of change of the cost of production with respect to the number of yards that were produced.

It's unit is $/yard

B) f '(2000) = 10 means that after production of 2000 yards of fabrics, the cost of production will be increasing at a rate of $10 per yard.

C) f' (200) > f'(600)

f'(4000) > f'(600)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Since the cost of producing x yards of this fabric is C = f(x) dollars. f'(x) simply means the rate of change of C with respect to x.

In clearer terms, the derivative f'(x) means the rate of change of the cost of production with respect to the number of yards that were produced.

It's unit is $/yard

B) To say f '(2000) = 10 means that after production of 2000 yards of fabrics, the cost of production will be increasing at a rate of $10 per yard.

C) f '(200) is greater than f'(600) because the cost of making the 600th yard will be less than the cost of the 200th yard. Reason for this is due to economics of scale as the manufacturer will certainly make more efficient use of fixed costs of production.

As more units are produced, there may likely be more overtime costs and thus the rate of increase cost of production will likely increase faster.

Thus;

f'(4000) > f'(600)

Find the missing side for each triangle below
xxTIMURxx [149]

Applying the Trigonometry ratio, CAH, the missing side is, x = 1.9.

<h3>How to Solve a Right Triangle Using Trigonometry Ratio</h3>

The Trigonometry Ratios are:

  • SOH - sin∅ = opp/hyp.
  • CAH - cos∅ = adj/hyp.
  • TOA - tan∅ = opp/adj.

Thus, given:

∅ = 51°

hyp = 3

adj = x

  • Apply, CAH:

cos 51 = x/3

x = (cos 51)(3)

x = 1.9

Thus, applying the Trigonometry ratio, CAH, the missing side is, x = 1.9.

X-5y=-15x−5y=−15x, minus, 5, y, equals, minus, 15 Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. (-5,(−5,left paren
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

<h2>The missing value is 2. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not properly written. Find the correct question below.

If x – 5y = -15 . Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation (-5, ____)

Let the coordinate of the variables be (x, y). Comparing the coordinates (x, y) with the given coordinate (-5, __), we will discover that x = -5. To get the y coordinate, we will substitute x = -5 into the given expression as shown;

If x – 5y = -15

-5 - 5y = -15

Adding 5 both sides

-5-5y+5 = -15+5

-5y = -10

Dividing both sides by -5;

-5y/-5 = -10/-5

y = 2

<u>Hence the missing value in the solution of the equation is 2</u>. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)
