The total cost (in dollars) of printing x dictionaries is C(x) = 20,000 + 10x. Find the average value of the cost function over the interval [0, 700).

Answer:

The average value of the cost function over the interval  is of $23,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average value of a function:

The average value of a function, over an inteval [a,b], is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{b-a} \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx[/tex]

In this case:

Function [tex]C(x) = 20000 - 10x[/tex], interval with [tex]a = 0,b = 700[/tex]

So

[tex]A = \frac{1}{700} \int_{0}^{700} 20000+10x dx[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{1}{700} (20000x+5x^2)|_{0}^{700}[/tex]

So

[tex]A = \frac{20000(700)+5(700)^2}{700} = 23500[/tex]

The average value of the cost function over the interval  is of $23,500.
