Accepted Answer

$$AC(10) = \frac{500 + 200}{10} = 70$$

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct application of the product rule for differentiation?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)g(x)] = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)$$

Question 12

A company’s revenue function is $$R(x) = 50x - x^2$. What is the marginal revenue when x = 10$?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

$$x = 1$$ and $$x = 3$$

Question 18

A company’s revenue function is $$R(x) = 200e$$^{0.01x}$$. What is the marginal revenue when x = 0$?

Accepted Answer

$$R'(x) = 2e$$^{0.01x}$$,\ R'(0) = 2$
