- 1. For what value (s) of x is the function f(x) = 4/2x2 - 6x not continous? 2. If the demand of firm is QD (p) = 50 -3p and its supply function is Qs (p) = 14 + 6p. What is the equilibrium? 3. Find Lim x2 -4x + 3/5arrow_forwardFind the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of the function f ( x ) = x 2 e -x on the closed interval [ 1 , 4 ].arrow_forwardShow that the function f(x,y)=8x^2 y subject to 3x−y=9 does not have an absolute minimum or maximum. (Hint: Solve the constraint for y and substitute into f.) Solve the constraint for y. y = ? Substitute into f. f(x,y)= ? Determine the behavior of f as x approaches −∞. limx→−∞f(x,y)= ? Determine the behavior of f as x approaches ∞. limx→∞f(x,y)= ? Does this show that f does not have an absolute maximum or minimum? 1. No 2. Yesarrow_forward
- Movie expenditures, in billions of dollars, on advertising in a certain format from 1995 to 2004 can be approximated by f(t) = 0.04t + 0.33 if t ≤ 4 −0.01t + 1.5 if t > 4, where t is time in years since 1995. (a) Compute lim t→4− f(t). (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) Interpret the answer. Shortly 1999 (t = 4), annual advertising expenditures were close to $ billion. Compute lim t→4+ f(t). (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) Interpret the answer. Shortly 1999 (t = 4), annual advertising expenditures were close to $ billion. (b) Is the function f continuous at t = 4? YesNo What does the answer tell you about movie advertising expenditures? Movie advertising expenditures in 1999.arrow_forwardGiven lim (4x-3) as x approaches 1. Use the definition of a limt to find a number delta such that the absolute value of x-a is less than delta when the absolute value of f(x)-L is less than 0.08arrow_forwardThe cost C (in dollars) of producing x units of a product is C = 1.60x + 9,000. (a) Find the average cost function C. C = (b) Find C when x = 1,000 and when x = 10,000. C(1,000) =$ per unit C(10,000) =$ per unit (c) Determine the limit of the average cost function as x approaches infinity. lim x→∞ C(x) = Interpret the limit in the context of the problem. As more and more units are produced, the average cost per unit (in dollars) will approach $arrow_forward
