Suppose that the total cost function, in dollars, for the production of x units of a product is given by the equation shown below: C(x) = 22050 + 45x + 0.5x^2 Then the average cost of producing x items is represented by the following equation: C'(x) = total cost / x = 22050 / x + 45 + 0.5x (a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of average cost with respect to the number of units produced, at any level of production. C'(x) = (b) Find the level of production at which this rate of change equals zero. x = (c) At the value found in part (b), find the instantaneous rate of change of cost and find the average cost. instantaneous rate of change of cost average cost What do you notice? The instantaneous rate of change of cost equals the average cost. The instantaneous rate of change of cost is greater than the average cost. The instantaneous rate of change of cost is less than the average cost.

Suppose that the total cost function, in dollars, for the production of x units of a product is given by the equation shown below: C(x) = 18,750 + 45x + 0.3x^2. Then the average cost of producing x items is represented by the following equation: C(x) = (18,750x + 45x + 0.3x^2)/x. (a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of average cost with respect to the number of units produced, at any level of production. (b) Find the level of production at which this rate of change equals zero. x = (c) At the value found in part (b), find the instantaneous rate of change of cost and find the average cost. Instantaneous rate of change of cost = $, average cost = $.

If C(x) is the cost of producing x units of a commodity, then the average cost per unit is c(x) = C(x)/x. Consider the cost function C(x) given below: C(x) = 24,000 + 210x + 6x^{3/2}. (a) Find the total cost at a production level of 1000 units. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) (b) Find the average cost at a production level of 1000 units. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) (c) Find the marginal cost at a production level of 1000 units. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) (d) Find the production level that will minimize the average cost. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) (e) What is the minimum average cost? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
