f(x) = x^3 – 3x + 2
find:
a. Critical values
b. Relative Extrema (increasing, decreasing)

d. Concavity
e. Sketch the graph
2. The demand equation for a monopolist’s product is
P = 600 – 2q
And the total-cost function is
C = 0.2q^2 + 28q + 200
a. Find the profit-maximizing output and price then determine the corresponding profit.
b. If the government were to impose a tax of $22 per unit on the manufacturer, what would be the new profit-maximizing output and price? What is the profit now?
3. A manufacturer has to produce 3000 units annually of a product that is sold at a uniform rate during the year.
