Question
The total profit (in dollars) from the sale of $x$ cameras is$$P(x)=12 x-0.02 x^{2}-1,000 \quad 0 \leq x \leq 600$$Evaluate the marginal profit at the given values of $x$, and interpret the results.(A) $x=200$(B) $x=350$
Step 1
The marginal profit function is the derivative of the profit function. So, we take the derivative of the profit function $P(x)=12x-0.02x^{2}-1000$ with respect to $x$. Show more…

Profit Analysis: A manufacturer of digital cameras estimates that when X hundred camera are produced, the total profit will be P(X) = -0.005X^3 + 0.07X^2 + 25X - 200 in dollars. Find the marginal profit when the level of production is X = 80 units. (Round to the nearest 2 decimal places, if needed)
The total profit (in dollars) from the sale of $x$ DVDs is $$ P(x)=5 x-0.005 x^{2}-450 \quad 0 \leq x \leq 1,000 $$ Evaluate the marginal profit at the given values of $x$, and interpret the results. (A) $x=450$ (B) $x=750$

Marginal Analysis in Business and Economics
Marginal Profit The profit $P(\text { in dollars) from selling } x$ units of a product is given by $$P=36,000+2048 \sqrt{x}-\frac{1}{8 x^{2}}, \quad 150 \leq x \leq 275$$ Find the marginal profit for each of the following sales. $$ \begin{array}{ll}{\text { (a) } x=150} & {\text { (b) } x=175 \quad \text { (c) } x=200} \\ {\text { (d) } x=225} & {\text { (e) } x=250 \quad \text { (f) } x=275}\end{array} $$
