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)

What’s the domain and range for (2,4) (5,3) (-1,-4) (0,9) (-3,1)
Citrus2011 [14]

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to state the domain and range for the following relation.

First of all, a relation is just a set of ordered pairs like you see in this problem. The domain is the set of all x-coordinates for those ordered pairs. So in this case the domain or D is {2, 5, -1, 0, -3}.

The range is the set of all y-coordinates for those ordered pairs. So in this case our range or R is {4, 3, -4, 9, 1}.

How can you find the surface area of a composite solid made up of prisms ? (Help)
sammy [17]
Oh, this is easy. For any prism, you find the surface area by finding the are of all the sides. I will post all surface area formulas here, for reference
Cube:



Surface area = 6 × a2




Right circular cylinder:



Surface area = 2 × pi × r2   +  2 × pi × r × h

pi = 3.14
h is the height
r is the radius


Rectangular prism:



Surface area = 2 × l × w  +  2 × l × h  +  2 × w × h 




l is the length
w is the width
h is the height


Sphere:



Surface area = 4 × pi × r2 

pi = 3.14
r is the radius


Right circular cone:



Surface area = pi × r2  +  pi × r ×( √(h2 + r2)) 

pi = 3.14
r is the radius
h is the height
l is the slant height 


Right square pyramid:



Surface area = s2 + 2 × s × l

s is the length of the base
h is the height
l is the slant height

The expression \frac{m^{2}-16\cdot n^{2}}{\frac{3\cdot m + 12\cdot n}{m\cdot n} } is equal to \frac{m^{2}\cdot n}{3} -\frac{4\cdot m\cdot n^{2}}{3}.

<h3>How to simplify a composite algebraic expression</h3>

In this question we must use properties of <em>real</em> algebra to simplify a given expression as most as possible. We proceed to show each step with respective reason.

  1. \frac{m^{2}-16\cdot n^{2}}{\frac{3\cdot m + 12\cdot n}{m\cdot n} }  Given
  2. \frac{m\cdot n \cdot (m^{2}-16\cdot n^{2})}{3\cdot m + 12\cdot n}   \frac{\frac{a}{b} }{\frac{c}{d} } = \frac{a\cdot d}{c\cdot b}
  3. \frac{m\cdot n \cdot (m-4\cdot n)\cdot (m+4\cdot n)}{3\cdot (m+4\cdot n)} Distributive property/a^{2}-b^{2} = (a +b)\cdot (a-b)
  4. \frac{m\cdot n \cdot (m-4\cdot n)}{3} Existence of the multiplicative inverse/Modulative property
  5. \frac{m^{2}\cdot n}{3} -\frac{4\cdot m\cdot n^{2}}{3} Distributive property/x^a\cdot x^{b} = x^{a+b}/Result
