Question

The profit from the supply of a certain commodity is modeled as P(q) = 72qe^-0.5q dollars where q is the number of units produced. (a) Write an expression for the rate of change of profit. P'(q) = dollars per unit (b) At what production level is the rate of change of profit zero? q = units (c) What is profit at the production level found in part (b)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $

Step 1

This will give us the rate of change of profit. (a) The derivative of P(q) = 72qe^{0.59} with respect to q is: P'(q) = \frac{d}{dq}(72qe^{0.59}) Show more…
