Answer:

The average value of the cost function over the interval is of $23,500.

Explanation:

Average value of a function:

The average value of a function, over an inteval [a,b], is given by:


A = (1)/(b-a) \int_(a)^(b) f(x) dx

In this case:

Function
C(x) = 20000 - 10x, interval with
a = 0,b = 700

So


A = (1)/(700) \int_(0)^(700) 20000+10x dx


A = (1)/(700) (20000x+5x^2)|_(0)^(700)

So


A = (20000(700)+5(700)^2)/(700) = 23500

The average value of the cost function over the interval is of $23,500.
