Calculate total cost, disregarding any fixed costs. Total profit from marginal profit. Poyse Inc. has a marginal-profit function given by $$ P^{\prime}(x)=-2 x+80 $$ where $P^{\prime}(x)$ is in dollars per unit. This means that the rate of change of total profit with respect to the number of units produced, $x,$ is $P^{\prime}(x)$. Find the total profit from the production and sale of the first 40 units.

Key Concepts

Marginal Profit Function

The marginal profit function is a derivative that describes how profit changes with the production of each additional unit. It represents the instantaneous rate of change of the total profit function with respect to the number of units produced. By analyzing this function, one can determine how much additional profit (or loss) is generated by producing one more unit, which is crucial for decision-making in production and pricing strategies.

Definite Integration

Definite integration is a mathematical process used to calculate the accumulation of a quantity, such as total profit, over an interval. In the context of marginal profit, integrating the marginal profit function over a range of production units yields the total profit accumulated in that production interval. This method is key in transitioning from a rate of change to an overall change in the profit function.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus connects differentiation and integration, stating that the definite integral of a derivative function over an interval recovers the net change in the original function. In the problem context, it allows us to integrate the marginal profit function to find the total profit over a specified range by subtracting the initial profit (considered as zero if fixed costs are disregarded) from the final profit.
