Solution
The expenditure Ec of a person with income x is given by
Ec = 0.0006x2 + 0.003x
So, marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = `("dE"_"c")/("dx")`
= `"d"/("dx")(0.0006x^2 + 0.003x)`
= 0.0006 × 2x + 0.003
= 0.0012x + 0.003
When x = 200,
MPC = (0.0012 × 200) + 0.003
= 0.24 + 0.003 = 0.243
MPS = 1 − MPC
= 1 − 0.243
= 0.757
Now APC =`"E"_"c"/"x"`
= `(0.0006x^2 + 0.003x)/x`
= 0.0006x + 0.003
When x = 200
APC = 0.0006 × 200 + 0.003
= 0.12 + 0.003 = 0.123
APS = 1 − APC
= 1 − 0.123
= 0.877

By completing the following activity, find the values of x such that f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 – 84x – 7 is decreasing function.
Solution: f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 – 84x – 7
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = 6`(square) (square)`
Since f(x) is decreasing function.
∴ f'(x) < 0
Case 1: `(square)` > 0 and (x + 2) < 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
Case 2: `(square)` < 0 and (x + 2) > 0
∴ x ∈ `square`
∴ f(x) is decreasing function if and only if x ∈ `square`

Find the value of x for which the function f(x)= 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2 is decreasing.
Given f(x) = 2x3 – 9x2 + 12x + 2
∴ f'(x) = `squarex^2 - square + square`
∴ f'(x) = `6(x - 1)(square)`
Now f'(x) < 0
∴ 6(x – 1)(x – 2) < 0
Since ab < 0 ⇔a < 0 and b < 0 or a > 0 and b < 0
Case 1: (x – 1) < 0 and (x – 2) < 0
∴ x < `square` and x > `square`
Which is contradiction
Case 2: x – 1 and x – 2 < 0
∴ x > `square` and x < `square`
1 < `square` < 2
f(x) is decreasing if and only if x ∈ `square`
