Answer:

a) C(x) is increasing in two regions: (i) (+\infty, 8\,s) and (ii) (10\,s,+\infty).

b) C(x) decreases in (8\,s, 10\,s).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C(x) = x^{3}-27\cdot x^{2}+240\cdot x +850, where x is the quantity of insecticide, measured in hundreds of liters, and C(x) is the total manufacturing cost as a function of the quantity of the insecticide, measured in US dollars. A possible approach to determine which regions of C(x) are decreasing and increasing by means of the first derivative and graphing tools. The first derivative of the function is:

C'(x) = 3\cdot x^{2}-54\cdot x+240 (1)

Please notice that regions where C(x) is increasing has C'(x) > 0, whereas C'(x) < 0 when C(x) < 0.

We notice that C(x) is increasing in two regions: (i) (+\infty, 8\,s) and (ii) (10\,s,+\infty). Besides, C(x) decreases in (8\,s, 10\,s).

jolli1 [7]
I believe the answer is C - 60 inches. 60 x 2 = 120, which is both lengths, and since he width is half the length, then 30 x 2 = 60. So 130 (length) + 60 (width) = 180. So 60 inches would be the maximum length for both sides.
