Concept explainers
To find: The marginal cost of a product can be thought of as the cost of producing one additional unit of output. For example, If the marginal cost of producing the 50th product is , it cost to increase production from 49 to 50 units of output. Suppose the marginal cost (in dollars) to produce thousand digital music players is given by the function
a. How many players should be produced to minimize the marginal cost?
