  • 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.

  • This is a slight generalization of the differential equations example we did in class. Here, instead of asking for all possible functions y=f(x) which satisfy y'=3y we want THE function which has the additional property that f(0)=1/2. (i.e. Find values of C and k that give a function with these two properties.)

Miscellany (Look here for additional materials!)

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.
