The cost of producing x units of a certain commodity is given by P (x) = 1000 + ∫ ^x to 0 MC (s) ds, where P is in dollars and M (x) is marginal cost in dollars per unit. B. Suppose the production schedule is such that the company produces five units each day. That is, the number of units produced is x = 5t, where t is in days, and t = 0 corresponds to the beginning of production. Write an equation for the cost of production P as a function of time t. C. Use your equation for P (t) from part B to find dP/dt. Be sure to indicate units and describe what dP/dt represents.

    Using the given values, we have the equation

    P (x) = 1000 + ∫ MC (s) ds from 0 to 5t

    evaluating the integral

    P (x) = 1000 + M (5t) C (5t) - M (0) C (0)

    where the value of the functions

    M and C should be defined to solve the equation explicitly in terms of t
