Applications to Economics

[ List of Lectures | Math 1120 Index ]

Assignment:

Test on Friday, February 27 covering all topics through section 3.4

Lecture:

The cost function C(x) and its marginal function C'(x), the revenue function R(x)=px and its marginal function, and the profit function P(x)=R(x)-C(x), are all important functions that arise in economics. You must know how these functions are defined and how to find their marginals. We did examples 5 and 6 about Acrosonic Loudspeakers in class. You can expect to have to interpret what your results mean after finding the marginals in a question.
