: I'm in great need of some help. It's a word problem
: 11. The gross national product (GNP) of a certain country is N(t)= t^2+3t+121 billion dollars t years after 1990. At what percentage rate will the GNP be changing with respect to thime in 1995?
: and
: 12) If the total cost of manufacturing q units of a certain commodity is C(q)= (3q+1)(5q+7), use marginal analysis to estimate the cost of producting the 19th unit.
: and
: Find the derivative if Y= (3x^5-7x+5)(x^3+x-a)
:
: and help would be appreciated.
*******************************************
N(t)= t^2+3t+121
Steps:
1) find N'(t)
2) replace t by 5 (=1995-1990)
3) find N(t) for T = 5
4) dIVIDE (2) BY (3) TO GET % CHANGE
