13. BUSINESS: Cost – The weekly marginal cost of producing shoes is given by
C’ (x) = 12 + 500/(x + 1) where C (x) is the cost in dollars. If the fixed cost
are $2,000 per week, find the cost function.
Step 1: Integrate C’ to find C.

14. BUSINESS: Price-demand – The marginal price p’ (x) at x boxes of a certain cereal
per week is given by p’ (x) = - 0.015e -.01x . Find the price equation if the weekly demand
is 50 boxes when the price is $4.35.
Step 1: Integrate p’ to find p.
