Marginal Cost, Revenus, and Profit for Producing LCD TVs

A company manufactures a series of 20-in. flat-tube LCD televisions. The quantity x of these sets demanded each week is related to the wholesale unit price p by the following equation.
p = −0.007x + 200
The weekly total cost (in dollars) incurred by Pulsar for producing x sets is represented by the following equation. Find the following functions (in dollars) and compute the following values.
C(x) = 0.000003x3 − 0.01x2 + 150x + 70,000
(a)
