Net change in cost A company’s marginal cost function is .1x2 - x + 12 dollars, where x denotes the number of units produced in 1 day. (a) Determine the increase in cost if the production level is raised from x = 1 to x = 3 units. (b) If C(1) = 15, determine C(3) using your answer in (a).
Use the cost function to find the production level at which the average cost is a minimum.
x = ___________
For this production level, show that the marginal cost and average cost are equal. Use a graphing utility to graph the average cost function and verify your results.
Marginal Cost: $______
Average Cost: $______
The cost, in dollars, of producing x units of a certain item is given by
(image)
Find the production level that minimizes the average cost per unit.
The number of units that minimizes the average cost is:
