Explain why the interpretation of the limit as x approaches infinity of (2x + 3) / (4x⁵ - 1) equals 0. Include reasoning.

<p>As x approaches infinity, the highest degree terms dominate, so the fraction simplifies to $0$ because $2/4x^5$ approaches $0$. Thus, all lower degree terms become negligible.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>By solving the equation $90,000 = 30,000 e^{(0.0727)(t)}$, we find $t = \frac{ln(60000)}{0.0727}$ which gives the exact time.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe the significance of C'(200) = 500 in the context of manufacturing costs.

<p>C'(200) = 500 means that at the production level of 200 iPhones, the cost of producing one additional iPhone is $500. This indicates marginal cost behavior.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Exam Questions and Solutions

  • Question 1a: Interpreting C(200) = 100,000. It will cost $100,000 to manufacture 200 iPhones.

  • Question 1b: Interpreting C'(200) = 500. It costs $500 to make one additional iPhone (at a production level of 200 iPhones).

  • Question 1c: Approximating the cost of making 203 iPhones. Calculate the cost for 200 iPhones ($100,000) plus the additional cost of making three iPhones ($500/phone * 3 phones = $1,500). Therefore, the total approximate cost is $101,500.

Limits and Continuity

  • Question 2a: Finding the limit of f(x) as x approaches 7. The limit from the left (x→7−) is 48; from the right (x→7+) is 48. Thus, the limit is 48.
