1. The estimated monthly profit realizable by the Cannon Precision Instruments Corporation for
manufacturing and selling x units of its model M1 cameras is
P(x) = −4x2 + 24000x − 100, 000 dollars.
Determine how many cameras Cannon should produce per month in order to maximize its profits.

6. The revenue (in dollars) from the sale of x infant car seats is given by

R(x) = 60x − 0.025x2 0 ≤ x ≤ 2, 400

(a) Find the average change in revenue if production is changed from 1,000 car seats to 1,050
car seats.
(b) Find the revenue and the instantaneous rate of change of revenue at a production level of
1,000 car seats, and write a brief verbal interpretation of these results.

7. An efficiency study of the morning shift at certain factory indicates that an average worker who
arrives a job at 8:00AM. Will have produced Q(x) = −t 3 + 6t 2 + 24t units t hours later.
(a) Compute the worker’s rate of production at 11:00A.M
(b) At what rate is the worker’s rate of production changing at 11:00A.M with respect to time ?
(c) Use calculus to estimate the change in the worker’s between 11:00 and 11:10A.M.
