Explanation / Answer

1) We have given The cost C of a system as a function of processor speed C=6s^2-5s+1400

when cost is minimum C'=0

differentiating C with respect to s

C'=12s-5=0

s=5/12=0.41666666666

s=0.4 MHz

2) We have given total cost to produce x units of perfume is C(x)=(3x+9)(6x+6)

Average Cost is C(x)/x=[(3x+9)(6x+6)]/x=[18x^2+18x+54x+54]/x=[18x^2+72x+54]/x=18x+72+54/x

Average Cost is C(x)/x=18x+72+54/x

the marginal average cost is (C(x)/x)'=18+0-54/x^2=18-54/x^2

the marginal average cost is (C(x)/x)'=18-54/x^2

3) We have given f(x)=x^4-x^3

f'(x)=4x^3-3x^2

f''(x)=12x^2-6x

f''(x)=12x^2-6x=0

x(12x-6)=0 implies x=0,x=1/2

f''(-1)=12(-1)^2-6(-1)=12+6>0

f''(1/4)=12(1/4)^2-6(1/4)=-0.75<0

f''(1)=12(1)^2-6(1)=12>0

the signs changes either sides of the x=0 and x=1/2

so inflection points are x=0,1/2

when x=0,f(0)=0

when x=1/2,f(1/2)=(1/2)^4-(1/2)^3=1/8*(1/2-1)=-1/16

inflection points are (0,0) and (1/2,-1/16)

the function is increasing on the interval (1/2,2) the function is not increasing on (0,2) because f''(1/4)=-0.75<0

so answer is I and II

4) We have given y=(6x+8)/(2x-1)

using quotient rule d(u/v)/dx=[v(du/dx)-u(dv/dx)]/v^2 where u=(6x+8) and v=(2x-1)

dy/dx=[(2x-1)*(6)-(6x+8)*(2)]/(2x-1)^2

=[12x-6-12x-16]/(2x-1)^2

=-22/(2x-1)^2

dy/dx=-22/(2x-1)^2
