Answer

Marginal cost $$ C^{\prime}(x)=1.92-0.002 x $$ The cost of producing $100$ items is $\$ 742.08.$

Work Step by Step

Marginal cost $$ C^{\prime}(x)=1.92-0.002 x $$ The general anti-derivative of $ C^{\prime}(x)=1.92-0.002 x, $ is $$ C(x)=1.92 x-0.001 x^{2}+K $$ But $$ C(1)=1.92-0.001+K=562 $$ $\Rightarrow $ $$ K=560.081 $$ Therefore $$ C(x)=1.92 x-0.001 x^{2}+560.081 $$ $\Rightarrow $ $$ C(100)=742.081, $$ so the cost of producing $100$ items is $\$ 742.08.$
