    Optimizing Cost per Unit with Calculus

    @DrClaude I don't now how to find an actual value of x when there's only one real number in the equation: 10?

    Optimizing Cost per Unit with Calculus

    @Ray Sorry I'm on the iPad at the moment, so I can't just do that. I forgot to use the alternative. I was replying to you.

    Optimizing Cost per Unit with Calculus

    Will it be x^3 or cubed x?, since the function is "wrapped" to ^3?

    Optimizing Cost per Unit with Calculus

    Wouldn't there be a relationship, so I would first have to differentiate it? Thus, that function would then be the one for the average cost per unit? But it's asking for an actual value for x, which is throwing me off. Would I need to follow common procedure like other optimisation questions?

    Optimizing Cost per Unit with Calculus

    Your asking me what the question is asking in a simplified manner. I'm asking how to find the average. I'm unfamiliar with finding it with function specified.

    Optimizing Cost per Unit with Calculus

    I'm aware of what average means, though how would I find it with calculus? That, I'm not familiar with. I've done averages with actual numbers, not variables. Should I first differentiate it or do something else?

    What is the optimal volume of a box with given dimensions using calculus?

    Sorry that my handwritiing is too messy and scan isn't done right. Just trying to get this done ASAP. (25-2x)(40-2x) y=(25-2x)(-2)+(40-2x)(-2) =-50+4x-40+2x =-90+6x x=15 Not sure what to next do.

    Using radians to discover the lengths of geometric shapes (circles)

    Thanks I got the answer of 125cm which I checked in the back of the answers and is right. The way you explained it helped.

    Using radians to discover the lengths of geometric shapes (circles)

    radians question sorry about that, if forgot to state my problem. i was wondering how to get the inner angles of the big and small wheel. i've been able to get 'alpha' and 'phi' but i don't know how to get 'theta' on the big wheel. if you can explain how i can get that then i'll be able to...

    Use of derivatives to find coordinates

    Yeah that's true. I'm known for unintentionally doing so. From what I'm gathering I write it like this: \frac{x^{3}}{12} to x^{3}12^{-1} and then go from their by normally differentiating twice over to get the second derivative - consequently finding x for the coordinate to substitute into...

    What is the Secret New Energy Source Using Magnets?

    I'm Rich! "New Energy Source"! No, no. Just the measures the old lady took. Besides, it wasn't finding a friend more than being finding someone to continue the legacy. Does seem a little suspicious. And no, I'm not encouraging legal action.

    Use of derivatives to find coordinates

    Yeah it does seem to be the case. Though I'm getting really large numbers. I'm using the quotient rule twice to differentiate. Is that correct?
