The marginal cost of manufacturing x yards of a certain fabric is C'(x) = 3 − 0.01x + 0.000009x2 (in dollars per yard). Find the increase in cost if the production level is raised from 2000 yards to 4000 yards.

Question

The marginal cost of manufacturing x yards of a certain fabric is C'(x) = 3 − 0.01x + 0.000009x2 (in dollars per yard). Find the increase in cost if the production level is raised from 2000 yards to 4000 yards.

Solution

To find the increase in cost if the production level is raised from 2000 yards to 4000 yards, we need to integrate the marginal cost function from 2000 to 4000.

The marginal cost function is given by C'(x) = 3 − 0.01x + 0.000009x^2.

The integral of C'(x) from 2000 to 4000 will give us the increase in cost.

∫ from 2000 to 4000 (3 − 0.01x + 0.000009x^2) dx

= [3x - 0.01x^2/2 + 0.000009x^3/3] from 2000 to 4000

= (34000 - 0.014000^2/2 + 0.0000094000^3/3) - (32000 - 0.012000^2/2 + 0.0000092000^3/3)

Calculate the above expression to get the increase in cost.
