A company is planning to manufacture mountain bikes. The fixed monthly cost will be \(\$ 100,000\) and it will cost \(\$ 100\) to produce each bicycle. a. Write the cost function, \(C,\) of producing \(x\) mountain bikes. b. Write the average cost function, \(\bar{C},\) of producing \(x\) mountain bikes. c. Find and interpret \(\bar{C}(500), \bar{C}(1000), \bar{C}(2000),\) and \(\bar{C}(4000)\) d. What is the horizontal asymptote for the graph of the average cost function, \(\bar{C} ?\) Describe what this means in practical terms.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. When all is said and done, it seems to me that direct variation equations are special kinds of linear functions and inverse variation equations are special kinds of rational functions.
Use transformations of \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x}\) or \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}}\) to graph each rational function. $$h(x)=\frac{1}{(x-3)^{2}}+2$$
a. Find the slant asymptote of the graph of each rational function and \(\mathbf{b} .\) Follow the seven-step strategy and use the slant asymptote to graph each rational function. $$f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-x+1}{x-1}$$
Exercises \(61-63\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. Use point plotting to graph \(f(x)=2^{x}\). Begin by setting up a partial table of coordinates, selecting integers from -3 to \(3,\) inclusive, for \(x .\) Because \(y=0\) is a horizontal asymptote, your graph should approach, but never touch, the negative portion of the \(x\) -axis.
