Chapter 15, Section 15.3, Question 037 A company manufactures x units of one item and y units of another. The total cost in dollars, C, of producing these two items is approximated by the function C = 5x² + 2xy + 3y2 + 800. (a) If the production quota for the total number of items (both types combined) is 33, find the minimum production cost. The minimum production cost is C = $ Number (b) Estimate the additional production cost...

B. A firm produces and sells two commodities. By selling x tons of the first commodity the firm gets a price per ton given by p = 96 – 4x. By selling y tons of the other commodity the price per ton is given by q = 84 – 2y. The total cost of producing and selling x tons of the first commodity and y tons of the second is given by C(x, y) = 2x2 + 2xy + y2....
