PROBLEMS:
1. The cost C of a product is a function of the quantity x of the
product is given by the equation: 𝐶(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 4000𝑥 + 50.
Determine the quantity for which the cost is a minimum.
2. Two Cities are 8 km and 12 km respectively north of a river
that runs due east. The second city is 15 km east of the first.
A pumping station is to be constructed (along the river) to
supply water to the two cities. Where should the station be
located so that the piping material is minimum?
3. A cylindrical steam boiler is to be constructed having a
capacity of 1000 cu. m. The material to be used for the sides
cost P2000 per square meter and for the ends P3000 per
square meter. Find the radius so that the cost is least.
For a particle traveling a curved path, the velocity and
accelerations are defined as:
