Answer:

The marginal-cost function is;

c'(x)= (20x-1)/(2√(400 + 10x² - x))

Completed question;

The cost of producing x bags of dog food is given by C(x) = 800 + √(400 + 10x² - x) where 0≤x≤55000. Find the marginal-cost function.

The marginal-cost function is c'(x)=

(Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.)

Explanation:

The marginal-cost function is c'(x)= = dC(x)/dx

Where;

C(x) = 800 + √(400 + 10x² - x)

c'(x) = d(800 + √(400 + 10x² - x) )/dx

Using function of function rule of differentiation or chain rule;

c'(x) = (20x-1)×(1/2√(400 + 10x² - x))

c'(x) = (20x-1)/(2√(400 + 10x² - x))

The marginal-cost function is;

c'(x)= (20x-1)/(2√(400 + 10x² - x))
