A. The term "units" refers to the measurements in the original question or problem. When looking at the question, the units we are measuring are dollars/feet.
B. In this case, the f'(x) means we are looking for the cost (in dollars) to drill the next foot down.
C. Since the cost increases the more feet we drill down, the sign of f'(x) is positive.
Answer:
7.8
Step-by-step explanation:
First I will try 50. I got 127,550, so that was way too big.
Let me try a smaller number. How about 5. I got 155, so that was a bit too small.
Now I'll try 20. I got 8420. Looks like the number is between 5 and 20.
How about 7. I got 399.
Let me try 8. I got 584! That's really close. It's just a little too big.
I tried 7.5, and got 485.624. So close! Just a little higher.
Putting in 7.8 yields <u>543.192!</u> That's our answer.
Answer:
because it is a decimal so it multiplies 100 by the decimal which is a smaller number, almost like how when you divide it becomes a smaller number.
