- The cost in dollars of making x items is given by the function Cx)=10x+500. a. The fixed cost is determined when zero items are produced. Find the fixed cost for this item. b.What is the cost of making 25 items? c.Suppose the maximum cost allowed is SI500. What are the domain and range of the cost function, C(x) ?arrow_forwardThe derivative of ƒ(x, y, z) at a point P is greatest in the directionof v = i + j - k. In this direction, the value of the derivative is2√3. What is ∇ƒ at P? Give reasons for your answer.arrow_forwardQ4: please answer questions on the bottom Part B: Use a graph of the curve to explain why the slopes of the secant lines in part (a) are not close to the slope of the tangent line at P. We see that problems with estimation are caused by the ( ) of the graph. The tangent is so steep at P that we need to take x-values ( ) to 1 in order to get accurate estiamtes of its slope. Part C: "By choosing appropriate secant lines, estimate the slope of the tangent line at P"arrow_forward

- A. Find the slope of the curve y=x2-2x-3 at the point P(2,-3) by finding the limiting value of the slope of the secant lines through point P. B. Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at P(2,-3)arrow_forwardA biochemist is testing the effect of a new antibiotic on a particular bacteria growing in a petri dish. Without the antibiotic, the bacteria grows as a circular patch with the radius increasing with time according to r = 0.5t cm, where t is measured in hours since the bacteria was introduced to the petri dish. The area of the bacteria is given by A = πr2, the area of a disc of radius r. When the radius of the disc reaches 2 cm, the biochemist introduces the antibiotic. This causes the radius of the disc to reduce according to r = 2 −√t cm, where t is measured in hours since the antibiotic was introduced. What is the time duration of the entire experiment (from the introduction of the bacteria until its disappearance)? Graph the radius of the disc against elapsed time since the start of the experiment. How fast was the area of the disc increasing (cm2/hour) just before the antibiotic was introduced? What was the maximum area of the disc? How fast was the area of the disc decreasing…arrow_forwardFast pls solve this question correctly in 5 min pls I will provide best rate for sure ph of 12x+y=40 is shown in blue. rdinates of the point at which this line ats the line y=0 are ((10)/(3),0arrow_forward
