Question
The cost, $C$ (in dollars), to produce $q$ quarts of ice cream is $C=f(q) .$ In each of the following statements, what are the units of the two numbers? In words, what does each statement tell us? (a) $\quad f(200)=600$ (b) $f^{\prime}(200)=2$
Step 1
So, when we say $f(200)=600$, it means that to produce 200 quarts of ice cream, it costs 600 dollars. Here, 200 is in quarts and 600 is in dollars. Show more…
