Homework20: Problem 6 (1 point) A local beer distributor contracts with a nearby brewery to produce their signature brand of beer. The distributor need an amount of 18000 barrels of beer to meet their annual demand. Since the demand is uniform throughout the year, the distributor can reduce storage costs my dividing that amount into multiple smaller runs. The annual cost of storage can be computed with the function f where x is the number of runs per year. f(x) = 50(18000/x) dollars The brewery collects a flat surcharge of $1000 every time the brewery produces a run of the signature brand. The annual cost of running the brewery can be computed using the function g where x is the number of runs per year. g(x) = 1000x dollars Write a function C(x) for the combined cost of storage and running the brewery. C(x) = [ ] dollars What is the number of runs x that will minimize the combined cost? x = [ ]

Take the derivative of the function f(x) = e^{3x^2} + ln(x^2 / (x+1))
A local sandwich store has a fixed weekly cost of $535.00, and variable costs for making a roast beef sandwich are $0.45. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. Let x represent the number of roast beef sandwiches made and sold each week. Write the weekly cost function, C, for the local sandwich store. (Hint: The cost function is the sum of fixed and variable costs.) C(x) = 535 + 0.45x (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.) b. The function R(x) = - 0.001x^2 + 3x describes the money that the local sandwich store takes in each week from the sale of x roast beef sandwiches. Use this revenue function and the cost function from part (a) to write the store's weekly profit function, P. (Hint: The profit function is the difference between revenue and cost functions.) P(x) = (Simplify your answer. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.)
