    The marginal cost of manufacturing a certain item is given by\[c'(x)=\frac{dc}{dx}=2+0.15x\]. The total cost function c (x), is

    A) \[0.075{{x}^{2}}+2x+100\]

    B) \[0.15{{x}^{2}}+3x+30\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+100.075x+100\]

    D) None of these It is given that c (0) = 100

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] [Note derivative of a function is sometimes called as the marginal value, especially in economics] Given \[\frac{dc}{dx}=2+0.15x\] Integrating we get \[c(x)=2x+0.15\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2}+D\] when \[x=0,c(x)=100\Rightarrow D=100\] \[\therefore \] the required equation is \[c(x)=0.075{{x}^{2}}+2x+100\]
