The total cost of producing x units is ₹ (x² + 60x + 50) and the price is ₹ (180 − x) per unit. For what units is the profit maximum?

The total cost of manufacturing x articles C = 47x + 300x² – x⁴ . Find x, for which average cost is decreasing

If the demand function is D = `((p + 6)/(p − 3))`, find the elasticity of demand at p = 4.

For the demand function D = 100 – `p^2/2`. Find the elasticity of demand at p = 10 and comment on the results.

Choose the correct alternative:

Slope of the normal to the curve 2x² + 3y² = 5 at the point (1, 1) on it is 

Choose the correct alternative:

The function f(x) = x³ – 3x² + 3x – 100, x ∈ R is

The price P for the demand D is given as P = 183 + 120D − 3D², then the value of D for which price is increasing, is ______.

If 0 < η < 1, then the demand is ______.

The slope of tangent at any point (a, b) is also called as ______.

If the function f(x) = `7/x - 3`, x ∈ R, x ≠ 0 is a decreasing function, then x ∈ ______

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

State whether the following statement is True or False:

The equation of tangent to the curve y = x² + 4x + 1 at (– 1, – 2) is 2x – y = 0 

Find the values of x such that f(x) = 2x³ – 15x² + 36x + 1 is increasing function

Find the values of x such that f(x) = 2x³ – 15x² – 144x – 7 is decreasing function

A rod of 108 m long is bent to form a rectangle. Find it’s dimensions when it’s area is maximum.

The manufacturing company produces x items at the total cost of ₹ 180 + 4x. The demand function for this product is P = (240 − 𝑥). Find x for which profit is increasing

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`

State whether the following statement is true or false.

If f'(x) > 0 for all x ∈ (a, b) then f(x) is decreasing function in the interval (a, b).

Divide 20 into two ports, so that their product is maximum.
