8. Let C(x) be the cost (in dollars) of manufacturing x bicycles per day in a certain factory. If C(60) = 9000 and
C′(60) = 85, estimate the cost of manufacturing 61 bicycles per day.
The cost of manufacturing 61 bicycles per day would be approximately $ .
9. Consider the cost function C(x) = 6x2 + 20x + 17 (thousand dollars).
a) What is the marginal cost at production level x = 3?
b) Use the marginal cost at x = 3 to estimate the cost of producing 3.50 units.
2
c) Let R(x) = − x + 56x + 53 denote the revenue in thousands of dollars generated from the production of x units.
What is the break-even point? (Recall that the break-even point is when the revenue is equal to the cost.)
d) Compute and compare the marginal revenue and marginal cost at the break-even point. Should the company
increase production beyond the break-even point?
a) The marginal cost at production level x = 3 is $ .
b) The cost of producing 3.50 units is $ .
c) The break-even point is when units are produced. (Type an integer or a fraction.)
d) The company (1) increase production past the break even point.
