MATH 107 QUIZ 2
NAME: _______________________________
April, 2019
Instructor: S. Sands
I have completed this assignment myself, working independently and not consulting anyone except the instructor.
INSTRUCTIONS
• The quiz is worth 100 points. There are 10 problems. This quiz is open book and open notes. This means that you may
refer to your textbook, notes, and online classroom materials, but you must work independently and may not consult
anyone (and confirm this with your submission). You may take as much time as you wish, provided you turn in your
quiz no later than Sunday, April 7.
• Show work/explanation where indicated. Answers without any work may earn little, if any, credit. You may type
or write your work in your copy of the quiz, or if you prefer, create a document containing your work. Scanned work is
acceptable also. In your document, be sure to include your name and the assertion of independence of work.
• General quiz tips and instructions for submitting work are posted in the Quizzes module.
• If you have any questions, please contact me by e-mail.

10. (15 pts) (See textbook page 82 for definitions of the economic functions used in this problem.)
Company XYZ manufactures and sells widgets.
The cost, in dollars, to produce x widgets is given by C(x) = 2602 + 3.60x for x 0,
and the price-demand function, in dollars per widget, is p(x) = 24 − 0.02x for 0 x 4800.
