PROBLEM

Super Suds' cost function is C(x)=0.75x+3500C(x)=0.75 x+3500. What is the fixed cost and the cost per box? A) 3500, B) 0.75

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total cost function is given by C(x)=0.75x+3500C(x) =0.75x +3500.
. The variable xx represents the number of boxes of detergent produced.
3. The cost function is linear, which means it has the form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope (variable cost per unit) and bb is the y-intercept (fixed cost).

STEP 2

The fixed cost of the function is represented by the y-intercept in the linear equation. In the equation C(x)=0.75x+3500C(x) =0.75x +3500, the y-intercept is3500.

STEP 3

Therefore, the fixed cost of the function is $3500. This corresponds to choice A in the given options.

STEP 4

The cost for each box of detergent that Super Suds produces is represented by the slope in the linear equation. In the equation C(x)=0.75x+3500C(x) =0.75x +3500, the slope is0.75.

SOLUTION

Therefore, the cost for each box of detergent that Super Suds produces is $0.75. This corresponds to choice B in the given options.
So, the fixed cost of the function is 3500(ChoiceA)3500 (Choice A) and the cost for each box of detergent that Super Suds produces is 0.75(ChoiceB)0.75 (Choice B).
