p.54, 1.4
Example 4.6, Solution to part (b)
R(x) should be 110x, not 100x. That
is:
P(x) = R(x) - C(x) =
110x - (7500 + 60x) =
50x - 7500
pp.92-93, Chapter 1 Review
In problems 31-32, "evaluate" is misspelled.
p.129, 2.4
In problem 14, the function should be f(t) instead of
f(x).
p.153, 2.5
In problems 37-40, find THE equation of the tangent line.
p.172, 2.7
EXAMPLE 7.5 should be in blue.
p.177, Chapter 2 Summary
Chain rule for powers
should be derivative of [h(x)]n
p.190, 3.1
The warning applies to Step 3 (not 2).
p.242, 3.4
In problem 19, replace 1200 with 1600 in both places.
p.260, 3.5
In the directions for problems 5 through 10, P(x) should
be
P(q).
There are also several errors in the answer section in the back:
p.754, 1.1
#59(b) C[q(3)] = $6600, not C(3) = $6600
#59(c) C[q(t)] = $11,000, not C(t)
= $11,000

appears
to have a
local min at (5,-25) when
in fact the function is increasing there

R'(q)
p.790, Chapter 3 Review

p.793, 4.1
#5 graph should be symmetric about the y-axis (the righthand
portion
is correct)
p.795, 4.2
