Suppose the total cost in dollars to produce x items is given by the function C(x) = 0.0003x^3 + 0.14x^2 + 12x + 1400. A. Find the average rate of change of the total cost when the number of items produced increases from 100 to 300 items.

Step 1
The problem asks us to find the average rate of change of the total cost function, C(x), as the number of items produced increases from 100 to 300. The total cost function is given by C(x) = 0.0003x^3 + 0.14x^2 + 12x + 1400. Show more…

A total-cost function is given by $C(x)=2000\left(x^{2}+2\right)^{1 / 3}+700$ where $C(x)$ is the total cost, in thousands of dollars, of producing $x$ items. Find the rate at which total cost is changing when 20 items have been produced.
Differentiation
The Chain Rule
If c(x) is the cost of producing x units of a commodity, then the average cost per unit c(x) = c(x)/x. Consider the cost function c(x) given below. c(x) = 3000 + 260x + 6x^3
