4.6 Rates of Change in Business and Economics<br />

26. A soft-drink company estimates that the cost, C, in dollars of producing x<br />

litres of product per day is C(x) 0.0005x 2 4x 4000.<br />

(a) Find the marginal cost if 5000 L is produced.<br />

(b) Determine the daily production level to minimize the average cost.<br />

27. A publisher can sell x thousand copies of a monthly sports magazine if it<br />

x<br />

sells for p 5 dollars. The monthly cost of publishing, C, can be<br />

10 0<br />

modelled by C(x) 8000 200x 0.05x 2 .<br />

(a) Determine the revenue function.<br />

(b) Determine the profit function.<br />

(c) Calculate the profit on the sale of 20 000 magazines.<br />

(d) Calculate the marginal profit on the sale of 30 000 magazines.<br />

(e) Calculate the maximum profit and the sales required to realize the<br />

profit.<br />

28. The cost to produce one high-definition TV is $750. The manufacturer<br />

charges $1800 per unit for orders of 50 or less. The price will be reduced<br />

by $15 per unit for larger orders. Determine the size of order that<br />

(a) maximizes revenue<br />

(b) maximizes profit<br />

4.7 Sketching Graphs of Polynomial Functions: Concavity<br />

29. Determine the intervals of concavity and the points of inflection.<br />

(a) y x 3 3x 2 45x (b) y 2x 3 9x 2 108x 200<br />

(c) y x 4 54x 2 250 (d) y x 4 12x 2<br />

30. Determine the intervals where each function increases or decreases.<br />

Also determine where the graph of the function is concave up or<br />

down, the maximum and minimum points, and the points of inflection.<br />

Use the information to graph each function.<br />

(a) y 2x 2 12x 8 (b) y 2x 3 3x 2 12x 3<br />

(c) y 2x 3 3x 2 36x<br />

(d) y x 4 32x<br />

(e) y x 3 x 2 5x 3 (f) y 3x 5 5x 3 60x<br />

31. Use the second derivative test to show that f (x) x 3 2x 2 has a local<br />

maximum at the origin.<br />
