The cost function for production of a commodity is given below.
C(x) = 369 + 21x - 0.08x^2 + 0.0006x^3

Find the actual cost of producing the 101st item. (Round the answer to the nearest cent.)

i know that
c'(x) = 21-.16x+.0018x^2

but for the life of me cannot figure out how to find the answer

How is "actual cost" defined?
 
How much does it cost to produce 101 items?

How much does it cost to produce 100 items?

So what was the cost of that 101st item?

The derivative is irrelelvant here. This is purely and arithmetic problem.
 
ive tried to just input the number and it keeps telling me that its the wrong answer I've done it every way i know how aghh
 
ooo nevermind, i just got it...i feel dumb lol
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
