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.

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)

4. The students in Mr. Michael’s art class are decorating a booth for Harvest Day. They have blue cloth that is 60 inches long,
MrRissso [65]

Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.

<u>a.</u>  

As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>

First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

60=2*2*3*5\\ \\ 48=2*2*2*2*3\\ \\ 72=2*2*2*3*3

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3

Thus the GCF = 2*2*3=12

So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.

<u>b. </u>  

For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...

Number of pieces for blue cloth =\frac{60}{12}=5

Number of pieces for gold cloth =\frac{48}{12}=4 and

Number of pieces for white cloth =\frac{72}{12}=6

B) The cost price of an article was Rs 4000.Find the marked price of the
sweet [91]

Answer:

Market price = Rs. 6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost price = R.s 4,000

Profit after discount = 20%

Discount = 20%

Find:

Market price

Computation:

Sales price = Cost price[1+Profit after discount]

Sales price = 4,000[1+20%]

Sales price = 4,800

Market price = Sales price[100/(100 - Discount)]

Market price = 4,800[100/(100 - 20%)]

Market price = Rs. 6,000

E is the midpoint of DF, DE = 2x + 4, and EF = 3x + 1. Find DE, EF, and DF.
Agata [3.3K]
When there is a midpoint in a line segment, the two segments that are then produced have to be equal. So that means that because E is a midpoint of DF, DE=EF.
Set up the equation.
DE=EF
2x+4=3x+1
Then solve for x.
x=3
Then plug it back in the equation to find DE and EF.
DE=2x+4=2(3)+4=10
Because DE=EF then EF is also 10.
DF is made from the addition of DE and EF so DF is twice EF.
DF= 20

DE= 10, EF= 10, DF= 20

Hope this helps.
