A company that manufactures running shoes has a fixed monthly cost of \(\$ 300,000 .\) It costs \(\$ 30\) to produce each pair of shoes A. Write the cost function, \(C,\) of producing \(x\) pairs of shoes. B. Write the average cost function, \(\bar{C},\) of producing \(x\) pairs of shoes C. Find and interpret \(\bar{C}(1000), \bar{C}(10,000),\) and \(\bar{C}(100,000)\) D. What is the horizontal asymptote for the graph of the average cost function, \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}\) ? Describe what this represents for the company.
In Exercises 41–64, a. Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the graph’s end behavior. b. Find the x-intercepts. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis, or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each intercept. c. Find the y-intercept. d. Determine whether the graph has y-axis symmetry, origin symmetry, or neither. e. If necessary, find a few additional points and graph the function. Use the maximum number of turning points to check whether it is drawn correctly. $$f(x)=3 x^{2}-x^{3}$$
Write the equation of a rational function$$ f(x)=\frac{p(x)}{q(x)} \text {having the indicated properties in which the degrees} $$ of p and q are as small as possible. More than one correct function may be possible. Graph your function using a graphing utility to verify that it has the required properties. f has a vertical asymptote given by x=1, a slant asymptote whose equation is y=x, y -intercept at 2, and x -intercepts at -1 and 2.
In 1995, there were 315 death sentences rendered by American juries. For the period from 1995 through 2014, the number of death sentences rendered by juries decreased by approximately 13 per year. If this trend continues, by which year will American juries render 29 death sentences? (Source: Death Penalty Information Center) (Section 1.3, Example 2)
The equation for \(f\) is given by the simplified expression that results after performing the indicated operation. Write the equation for \(f\) and then graph the function. $$ \frac{1-\frac{3}{x+2}}{1+\frac{1}{x-2}} $$
