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 mean of the first four test scores first.
(Add all numbers in set and divide by how many numbers there are)
81 + 87 + 71 + 89 = 328 / 4 = 82

Then, find the mean with the 85 added as the fifth term.
81 + 87 + 71 + 89 + 85 = 413 / 5 = 82.6

The impact that the 85 had on the mean test score was that the mean/average increased by 0.6.

the area of a parallelogram shape land is on the square and length of its two adjacent sides are 25 m and 17 M find its diagonal
Alex787 [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw diagonal AC

The triangle ABC has sides 17 and 25

Say AB is 17, BC is 25

Draw altitude on side BC from A , say h

h = 17 sin B

Area = 25*17 sin B = 408

sin B = 24/25

In ∆ ABC

Cos B = +- 7/25

= 625 + 289 — b^2 / 2*25*17

b^2 = 914 — 14*17 = 676

b = 26

h = 17*24/25 = 408/25 = 16.32

Draw the second diagonal BD

In ∆ BCD, draw altitude from D, say DE =h

BD^2 = h^2 + {(25 + sqrt (289 -h^2) }^2

BD^2 = 16.32^2 + (25 + 4.76)^2

= 885.6576 + 266.3424

BD = √ 1152 = 33.94 m

Rewrite as a simplefied fraction
9966 [12]
Answer:
79/25

Work:

Firstly, you have to change the decimal portion of 3.16 (0.16) into a fraction, then you simplify it by a common factor, which is 4. You then convert your whole number, which is 3, into an improper fraction by multiplying it by 25 and making that the numerator, 25 being the denominator of the fraction. Then, you add the two fractions and voila! You have a simplified fraction!

0.16 = 16/100

16/100 = 4/25

3 x 25 = 75

75/25 + 4/25 = 79/25
