Question

The cost of producing n pairs of shoes is C(n)=n2. What is the derivative of the cost function when n=3?

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

C(n) = n^2

Firstly, we need to find the derivative of this cost function: we stop at the first derivative.

dC(n)/dn = 2n

Now, we are asked to get a specific value when n = 3. To get this, what we need do is to replace n with 3 in the derivative of the cost function.

This means 2(3) = 6
