Question

The average cost per unit C(x), in dollars, to produce x units of toy cars is given by C(x)=(8000)/(x−50)C(x)=(8000)/(x−50). What is the approximate cost per unit when 1250 toy cars are produced?

Answer 1

`C(x)= (8000)/(x-50)`

gives an average cost per unit, if we want to produce x of them.

So for example, we want to produce 500 toy cars for our store, and we need a price per unit (per 1 toy car). What we do is we calculate C(500).

So to calculate the cost of one unit when producing 1250, we calculate C(1250)


`C(1250)= (8000)/(1250-50)= (8000)/(1200)=6.67` $ is the cost of 1 toy car.
