The cost in dollars of making x items is given by the function C(x)=10x+700.The fixed cost is determined when zero items are produced. Find the fixed cost for this item.fixed cost=What is the cost of making 25 items?C(25)=Suppose the maximum cost allowed is $2700. What are the domain and range of the cost function, C(x)?When you enter a number in your answer, do not enter any commas in that number. In other words if you want to enter one thousand, then type in 1000 and not 1,000. It's not possible to understand what the interval (1,000,2,000) means, so you should write that as (1000,2000).domain=range=

According to the situation, the domain of this function will contain all values that x can take. Since x is the number of items, it only can take values from 0 to a certain value.

To find this certain value, use the maximum cost allowed (2700) as C(x) and find x using the equation:


\begin{gathered} C(x)=10x+700 \\ 2700=10x+700 \\ 2700-700=10x \\ 2000=10x \\ x=(2000)/(10) \\ x=200 \end{gathered}

It means that the domain of the function is [0,200]

The range contains all the values that cost can take. We know that the fixed cost (which is the minimum cost) is 700 and the maximum cost is 2700.

It means that the range of the function is [700,2700]
