b) During a nationwide program to immunize the population against a new strain of the flu, public health officials determined that the cost of inoculating x% of the susceptible population would be approximately C(x) =1.85 x 100 – x million dollars. (i) What would it cost to providing immunization to the first 20% of the susceptible population? (ii) What would it cost to providing immunization to the next 30% of the susceptible population? (iii) Suppose 17 million dollars are available for providing immunization. What percentage of the susceptible population will not receive immunization?

The rate of change of an autocatalytic chemical reaction is kQxkx2 where Q is the amount of the original substance, x is the amount of substance formed, and k is a constant of proportionality. Factor the expression.
This week a factory is producing 50 units of a particular commodity, and the amount being produced is increasing at the rate of 2 units per week. If C(x) dollars is the total cost of producing x units and C(x) = 0.08x3 − x2 + 10x + 4 , find the current rate at which the production cost is increasing.
Even though housing prices have been declining in many parts of the country, in Lara's neighborhood, they have been increasing steadily since Lara bought her home in 2006. Lara purchased her home in 2006 for $140,000, and it steadily increased its value by $3400 a year. Let V represent the market value (in dollars) of her home; x, the length of time she has lived there (in years).
Company X has a fixed expenses of 1.38M monthly and each units is produced at ₱20. Company Y has a fixed expenses of ₱500,000 per month and can produce the same unit at ₱60. At what number of units of monthly production will company X have the same overall cost as company Y?

A certain company is producing and selling its product X. The variable cost of the product X is 60% of its selling price, and the fixed cost of the company is $50,000 per month. When the company’s target profit for the forthcoming month is $20,000, how much sales volume (in dollars) is required to meet it?
The average cost function for the weekly manufacture of retro portable CD players is given by C(x) = 160,000x−1 + 20 + 0.01x dollars per player, where x is the number of CD players manufactured that week. Weekly production is currently 3,000 players and is increasing at a rate of 100 players per week. What is happening to the average cost?
Worldwide annual sales of smartphones in 2013-2017 were projected at approximately q=-10p+4360 million phones at a selling price of $p per phone. Assuming a manufacturing cost of $100 per phone, what selling price would have resulted in the largest projected annual profit? What would have been the resulting annual profit?
A small manufacturer has determined that the daily cost in dollars of producing n injected molded parts is given by the formula: C(n) = 0.01n3 - 1.5n2 + 0.25n + 500 Each part can be sold for $1.50 each. How many units must be produced and sold to maximize profit?
The median size of a new single-family house built in the United States between 1987 and 2001 can be modeled by the equation H(x) = 0.359x3 − 15.198x2 + 221.738x + 862.514 square feet where x is the number of years after 1980. † (a) Determine the value of x in the domain: 7 ≤ x ≤ 21 for which the median house size was increasing least rapidly. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)? (b) Thus, in which year was the median house size was increasing least rapidly? (Round your answer up to the nearest year.) (c) Find the corresponding house size. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)____square ft(d) Find the corresponding rate of change in house size. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)____square feet per year
The farm population has declined dramatically in the years since World War II, and with that decline, rural school districts have been faced with consolidating in order to be economically efficient. One researcher studied data from the early 1960s on expenditures for high schools ranging from 150 to 2400 in enrollment.† He considered the cost per pupil as a function of the number of pupils enrolled in the high school, and he found the following approximate formula, where n is the number of pupils enrolled and C is the cost, in dollars, per pupil. C = 743 − 0.402n + 0.00012n2 (a) Make a graph of C versus n. (b) what enrollment size gives a minimum per-pupil cost? (c) if a high school student had an enrollment of 1000, how much in per-pupil cost would be saved by changing enrollment to the optimal size found in part (b)? round answer to two decimal places)
The estimated Philippine population is 90 million in 2010 and the estimated growth rate was 2.4 % per year. That is n(2010) = 9 x107 and k= 0.024. So an equation for predicting the population with the stated initial condition and growth rate of 2010 is
