Marginal Example Continued<br />

The exact increase in pr<strong>of</strong>it is<br />

P(51)−P(50) = 43,383.89−42,550 = 833.89<br />

What is the marginal pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

Differentiate<br />

P(x) = −0.006x 3 −0.2x 2 +900x−1200<br />

P ′ (x) = −0.018x 2 −0.4x+900<br />

What is the marginal pr<strong>of</strong>it whenx = 50
