प्रश्न

The total cost function for production of x articles is given as C = 100 + 600x – 3x2 . Find the values of x for which total cost is decreasing.

योग

उत्तर

Given, the cost function is

C = 100 + 600x - 3x2

∴ `"dC"/"dx" = 0 + 600 - 6"x"`

= 600 - 6x

= 6(100 - x)

Since total cost C is a decreasing function,

`"dC"/"dx" < 0`

∴ 6(100 - x) < 0

∴ 100 - x < 0

∴ 100 < x

∴ x > 100

∴ The total cost is decreasing for x > 100.

A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which profit is increasing

Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 − x

Profit π = R – C

∴ π = `square`

Differentiating w.r.t. x,

`("d"pi)/("d"x)` = `square`

Since Profit is increasing,

`("d"pi)/("d"x)` > 0

∴ Profit is increasing for `square`
