  • Note, you can solve for the roots of this polynomial even though it is degree 4 by solving for x^2 using the quadratic formula and then taking the positive and negative square roots of each of these numbers. However, you must check which are real numbers and which are not.
• #5. Assigned - Wed. Nov. 1 (Due Fri. Nov. 3)
  • 2.7 #14
  • This problem looks complicated but it isn't, the main fact is that R(x)= xp where p is the price/demand function. After that, the profit function is, as always, P(x)=R(x)-C(x). In part (c) the production level is a function of the tax 'T' and so it enters into the calculation to optimize the profit. The tax revenue the government then recieves comes from this as well.

Miscellany (Look here for additional materials!)

• The overheads from Fri. Sep. 15 class on tangent lines. (These are in PDF format, you need the Adobe Acrobat reader to view these.)
• Here are the computer notes from the class on the secant line/tangent line discussion.
• Also, here is the animation demonstrating the connection betweeen the secant line and the tangent line.
