The cost of producing x ounces of gold from a new gold mine is C = f(x) dollars. (a) What is the meaning of the derivative f '(x)? What are its units? f '(x) is the average production cost with respect to the number of ounces of gold produced. Its units are dollars per ounce. f '(x) is the rate of change of the production cost with respect to the number of ounces of gold produced. Its units are dollars per ounce. f '(x) is the total amount of gold produced. Its units are ounces. f '(x) is the total production cost. Its units are dollars. (b) What does the statement f '(500) = 18 mean? The total cost to produce 18 ounces of gold is approximately $500. After 500 ounces of gold have been produced, the average production cost is $18/ounce. So the cost of producing 500 ounces is about $18/ounce. After 18 ounces of gold have been produced, the average production cost is $500/ounce. So the cost of producing 18 ounces is about $500/ounce. After 500 ounces of gold have been produced, the rate at which the production cost is increasing is $18/ounce. So the cost of producing the 500th (or 501st) ounce is about $18. (c) Do you think the values of f '(x) will increase or decrease in the short term? What about the long term? Explain. In the short term, the values of f '(x) will because more efficient use is made of start-up costs as x increases. But eventually f '(x) might due to large-scale operations.

Let P(n) be the statement that a postage of n cents can be formed using just 4-cent stamps and 7-cent stamps. The 342 5 / Induction and Recursion parts of this exercise outline a strong induction proof that P(n) is true for n ≥ 18. a) Show statements P(18), P(19), P(20), and P(21) are true, completing the basis step of the proof. b) What is the inductive hypothesis of the proof? c) What do you need to prove in the inductive step? d) Complete the inductive step for k ≥ 21. e) Explain why these steps show that this statement is true whenever n ≥ 18.

L.B. Johnson Middle School held a track and field event during the school year. Miguel took part in a four-person shot put team. Shot put is a track and field event where athletes throw (or "put") a heavy sphere, called a "shot," as far as possible. To determine a team score, the distances of all team members are added. The team with the greatest score wins first place. The current winning team’s final score at the shot put is 52.08 ft. Miguel’s teammates threw the shot put the following distances: 12.26 ft., 12.82 ft., and 13.75 ft. Exactly how many feet will Miguel need to throw the shot put in order to tie the current first-place score? Show your work.
