Question:

If $C(x)=15x^3-3\sqrt{5}x+\sqrt{7}$ represents the total cost of producing x items, the slope of the marginal cost function at x =1 is :

Options:

$45-3\sqrt{5}$

$90+3\sqrt{5}$

$\frac{15x^4}{4}-\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}+\sqrt{7}x+C$

90

Correct Answer:

90

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 90

The Marginal Cost (MC) function is,

$MC(x)=\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$

$=\frac{d}{dx}(15x^3-3\sqrt{5}x+\sqrt{7})$

$=45x^2-3\sqrt{5}$

Slope = $\frac{dMC(x)}{dx}=90x$

Slope at $x=1$ = 90
