If a competitive firm's cost function is $C(q)=a+b q+c q^{2}+d q^{3},$ where $a, b, c,$ and $d$ are constants, what is the firm's marginal cost function? What is the firm's profit-maximizing condition? $C$

If a competitive firm's cost function is C(q) = a + bq + cq^2 + dq^3, where a, b, c, d are constants, what is the firm's marginal cost function? What are the firm's profit-maximizing conditions?

Consider a perfectly competitive firm that has a total cost of producing output given by: $T C=10 Q+2 Q^{2}$. The market price is $P=54$. Find the profitmaximizing quantity produced by the firm.
