Answer:
a.) C(q) = -(1/4)*q^3 + 3q^2 - 12q + OH b.) $170
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Marginal cost is defined as the decrease or increase in total production cost if output is increased by one more unit. Mathematically:
Marginal cost (MC) = change in total cost/change in quantity
Therefore, to derive the equation for total production cost, we need to integrate the equation of marginal cost with respect to quantity. Thus:
Total cost (C) = Integral [3(q-4)^2] dq = -(1/4)*(q-4)^3 + k
where k is a constant.
The overhead (OH) = C(0) = -(1/4)*(0-4)^3 + k = -16 + k
C(q) = -(1/4)*(q^3 - 12q^2 + 48q - 64) + k = -(1/4)*q^3 + 3q^2 - 12q -16 + k
Thus:
C(q) = -(1/4)*q^3 + 3q^2 - 12q + OH
(b) C(14) = -(1/4)*14^3 + 3*14^2 - 12*14 + 436 = -686 + 588 - 168 + 436 = $170

Part a:
x + y = 55
y = x + 25
part b:
jackie runs 15 minutes every day.
part c:
it is not possible for jackie to spend 45 minutes a day dancing, since the time she spends dancing and running is 55 minutes, and we know that it takes 15 minutes to run
step-by-step explanation:
let's call and while jackie is dancing
let's call x while jackie is running
then we know that jackie runs and dances for a total of 55 minutes every day
this means that:
x + y = 55
we also know that jackie dances 25 minutes more than she runs.
this meant that:
y = x + 25
now we substitute the second equation in the first and solve for the variable x
x + x + 25 = 552x = 55-252x = 30x = 15
jackie runs 15 minutes every day.
now we find the value of the variable -y
15 + y = 55y = 55-15y = 40
note that it is not possible for jackie to spend 45 minutes a day dancing, since the time she spends dancing and running is 55 minutes, and we know that it takes 15 minutes to run
