A manufacturer’s cost is C(q)=(1)/(10){q^2}+4q+500 dollars to produce q units, and can sell q units


Question: Consider the cost function \(C\left( x \right)=\frac{3}{10}{{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{4}{{x}^{2}}+500x+200\). Say we are currently producing 7 units and plan to increase to 7.5.

(a) Use the approximation formula to estimate how the cost will change

(b) Use the marginal cost to estimate the cost of the 8th unit

(c) Compute the actual cost of the 8th unit.
