17) The total cost to produce x units of paint is C(x) = (5x + 3)(7x + 4). Find the marginal
average cost function.

18) A company is planning to manufacture a new blender. After conducting extensive
market surveys, the research department estimates a weekly demand of 600 blenders at
a price of $50 per blender and a weekly demand of 800 blenders at a price of $40 per
blender. Assuming the demand equation is linear, use the research department's
estimates to find the revenue equation in terms of the demand x.

Answer:

17) MC(x) = 35 − 12/x²

18) R(x) = -0.05x² + 80x

Step-by-step explanation:

17) The marginal average cost function (MC) is the derivative of the average cost function (AC).

AC(x) = C(x) / x

MC(x) = d/dx AC(x)

First, find the average cost function:

AC(x) = C(x) / x

AC(x) = (5x + 3)(7x + 4) / x

AC(x) = (35x² + 41x + 12) / x

AC(x) = 35x + 41 + 12/x

Now find the marginal average cost function:

MC(x) = d/dx AC(x)

MC(x) = 35 − 12/x²

18) x is the demand, and p(x) is the price at that demand.  Assuming the equation is linear, let's use the points to find the slope:

m = (40 − 50) / (800 − 600)

m = -0.05

Use point-slope form to find the equation of the line:

p(x) − 50 = -0.05 (x − 600)

p(x) − 50 = -0.05x + 30

p(x) = -0.05x + 80

The revenue is the product of price and demand:

R(x) = x p(x)

R(x) = x (-0.05x + 80)

R(x) = -0.05x² + 80x

What is the marginal average cost function?

"If C(x) is the total cost of producing x items, then C'(x) is called the marginal cost."

For given question,

We have been given the total cost to produce x units of paint

C(x) = (5x + 3)(7x + 4)

We need find the marginal average cost function.

⇒ C(x) = (5x + 3)(7x + 4)

⇒ C(x) = 5x(7x + 4) + 3(7x + 4)

⇒ C(x) = 35x² + 20x + 21x +12

⇒ C(x) = 35x² + 41x + 12

so, the marginal average cost function would be,

[tex]C'(x) \\\\=\frac{d}{dx}C(x)\\\\ =\frac{d}{dx} (35x^2+41x+12)\\\\=\frac{d}{dx} (35x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(41x)+ \frac{d}{dx}(12)\\\\=70x+41+0\\\\=70x+41[/tex]

Therefore, the marginal average cost function is [tex]C'(x)=70x+41[/tex]

The revenue equation in terms of the demand x is [tex]R(x)=-0.05x^2+80x[/tex]

What is demand equation?

p = mq + b

where p is the price,

m is the slope

q is the number of quantity

d is  all factors affecting price other than price

What is revenue equation?

"Revenue = demand equation* Quantity Sold"

For given question,

Let x is the quantity which is demanded

P is the price per blender

Now we are given that x = 600 blenders are demanded at price P =$50 per blender.

So, the corresponding point would be given as (600, 50)

Also, x = 800 blenders are demanded at price P =$40 per blender.

So, the corresponding point would be given as (800, 40)

The equation of the line passing through these points would be,

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{P-50}{40-50}= \frac{x-600}{800-600}\\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{P-50}{-10} =\frac{x-600}{200}\\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{200}{-10}(P-50)=x-600\\\\ \Rightarrow -20(P-50)=x-600\\\\ \Rightarrow -20P+1000=x-600\\\\ \Rightarrow -20P=x-600-1000\\\\ \Rightarrow -20P=x-1600\\\\ \Rightarrow P=\frac{1}{20}x+80\\\\ \Rightarrow P=-0.05x+80[/tex]

So, the demand equation is [tex]P=-0.05x+80[/tex]

Now, the revenue equation in terms of the demand x would be,

[tex]\Rightarrow R(x)=P.x\\\\\Rightarrow R(x)= (-0.05x+80)x\\\\\Rightarrow R(x)=-0.05x^2+80x[/tex]

Therefore, the revenue equation in terms of the demand x is [tex]R(x)=-0.05x^2+80x[/tex]
