A note card company has found that the marginal cost per card of producing x note cards is given by the function below, where C'(x) is the
marginal cost, in cents, per card. Find the total cost of producing 900 cards, disregarding any fixed costs.
C'(x) = -0.05x + 77, for x S 1000
The total cost is
cents

Answer:

49,050cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression for calculating the marginal cost per card of producing x note cards expressed as

C'(x) = -0.05x + 77

On intergrating the marginal cost, we will get the total cost

C(x) =  -0.05x²/2 + 77x

Substitute x = 900 into the resulting expression

C(900) =  -0.05(900)²/2 + 77(900)

C(900) = -20,250+69,300

C(900) = 49,050

Hence the total costs in cents is 49,050cents
