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

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

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
