The total cost $C(x)$ in rupees associated with the production of $x$ units of an item is given by $C(x) = 0.007{x^3} - 0.003{x^2} + 15x + 4000$.Find the marginal cost when $17$ units are produced.

Official Solution
We have, $C(x) = 0.007{x^3} - 0.003{x^2} + 15x + 4000$ …(i)
Differentiating (i) w.r.t. $x$, we get
Marginal cost $= \cfrac{{dC}}{{dx}} = 0.007 \times 3{x^2} - 0.003 \times 2x + 15 + 0$
Therefore the marginal cost when 17 units are produced $= Rs20.967$.
