Answer

$C(x)=5x+x^{2}+\ln x+994$

Work Step by Step

The marginal cost at production level of x is $C'(x)=5+2x+\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}$ So, $C(x)$ is an antiderivative: $C(x)=\displaystyle \int(5+2x+\frac{1}{x})dx$ $=5x+x^{2}+\ln|x|+D$ the production quantity x is a positive value, so we drop the absolute value brackets $C(x)=5x+x^{2}+\ln x+D$ The indefinite integral gives us a collection of functions. To find the exact function, we find $D.$ The text gives us:$\quad C(1)=1000$, from which we find $D.$ $1000=5+1+\ln 1+D$ $994=D$ Thus, $C(x)=5x+x^{2}+\ln x+994$
