उत्तर
The total cost function, y = `3x((x+7)/(x+5)) + 5`
To prove the marginal cost decreases continuously as the output increase we should prove `"dy"/"dx"` is positive.
y = `3x((x+7)/(x+5)) + 5`
`= 3x (((x + 5) + 2)/(x + 5)) + 5`
`= 3x ((x + 5)/(x + 5) + 2/(x + 5)) + 5`
y = `3x(1 + 2/(x+ 5)) + 5`
y = `3 (x + (2x)/(x + 5)) + 5`
`"dy"/"dx" = 3 "d"/"dx" [x + (2x)/(x + 5)] + "d"/"dx" (5)`
`= 3 [1 + 2 "d"/"dx" (x/(x + 5))] + 0`
`= 3 [1 + 2(((x + 5)1 - x(1))/(x+5)^2)]`
`= 3 [1 + 2((x + 5 - x)/(x+5)^2)]`
`= 3 [1 + 2(5/(x + 5)^2)]`
`= 3 [1 + 10/(x+5)^2]`, which is positive.
∴ The marginal cost decreases continuously of the output increases.
