Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Which of the following correctly relates the average cost function \( C_{\text{ave}}(x) \) to the marginal average cost function \( C'_{\text{ave}}(x) \) when trying to estimate the value of the average cost at the next x-value?
**Options:**
- \( \large \color{blue}{\bullet} \, C_{\text{ave}}(x + 1) = C_{\text{ave}}(x + 1) + C'_{\text{ave}}(x + 1) \)
- \( \circ \, C_{\text{ave}}(x+1) \approx C_{\text{ave}}(x) + C'_{\text{ave}}(x) \)
- \( \circ \, C_{\text{ave}}(x + 1) = C'_{\text{ave}}(x) \)

- Suppose a product's revenue function is given by R(q) = -3q² + 800q, where R(q) is in dollars and q is units sold. Also, it's cost function is given by C(q) = 34q+26667, where C(q) is in dollars and q is units produced. Find a simplified expression for the item's Marginal Profit function (P'(aq)) and record your answer in the box. Be sure to use the correct variable.
