Step 1
10y + 5x = 20 I. Put y in terms of x: To put y in terms of x, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Let's start by subtracting 5x from both sides: 10y = 20 - 5x Now, divide both sides by 10: y = (20 - 5x)/10 Simplifying further: y = 2 - 0.5x II. Show more…

Find the marginal average cost function if cost and revenue are given by C(x) = 119 + 4.8x and R(x) = 5x - 0.04x^2. Find the marginal profit function if cost and revenue are given by C(x) = 215 + 0.8x and R(x) = 5x - 0.09x^2.

Let $y=f(x)=x^{2}+x$ a. Find the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ in the interval from $x=2$ to $x=3$, from $x=2$ to $x=2.5,$ and from $x=2$ to $x=2.1$ b. Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of $y$ at $x=2$ c. Compare the results obtained in part (a) with the result of part (b).
