The cost of producing x units of a particular commodity is 2 C(x) = x' +6x +45 shillings, and the production level t hours into a particular production run is x(1)=0.312 +0.04 units. At what rate is cost changing with respect to time after 5 hours?​

Complete question is;

The cost of producing x units of a particular commodity is C(x) = ⅔x² + 6x + 45 shillings and the production level t hours into a particular production run is x(t) = 0.3t² + 0.04t. At what rate is cost changing with respect to time after 5 hours?

dC/dt = 49.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C(x) = ⅔x² + 6x + 45

And x(t) = 0.3t² + 0.04t

This means that;

C(x) = C(x(t))

The rate at what cost is changing with respect to time is given as;

dC/dt

Thus, from chain rule;

dC/dt = (dC/dx) × (dx/dt)

dC/dx = (4/3)x + 6

dx/dt = 0.6t + 0.04

Now, when t = 5, then;

x(5) = 0.3(5)² + 0.04(5)

x = 7.7

Thus;

dC/dx = (4/3)x + 6 = (4/3)(7.7) + 6 = 16.267

At 5 hours,

dx/dt = 0.6(5) + 0.04 = 3.04

Thus;

dC/dt = 16.267 × 3.04

dC/dt = 49.45

it should be a and d. lmk if i'm wrong xd
