Business Calculus (MTH 270) Quick Reference Calculus I (MTH 173) and Business Calculus (MTH 270) are similar in the material covered, including limits, first and second derivative tests, and optimizations. The major differences between Calculus I and Business Calculus are: โ Business Calculus applies calculus to various business-related problems. โ Business Calculus DOES NOT cover derivatives or anti-derivatives of trig functions or inverse trig functions. If you have taken Calculus I, you are able to assist a student in Business Calculus, and vice versa. Marginal Analysis (p. 163) โ Cost, Revenue and Profit โ Total Cost = C(x) โ Total Revenue = R(x) โ Total Profit = P(x) = R(x) - C(x) โ Marginal Cost, Revenue and Profit โ Marginal Cost = Cโ(x) โ Marginal Revenue = Rโ(x) โ Marginal Profit = Pโ(x) = Rโ(x) - Cโ(x) โ The marginal cost is the instantaneous rate of change of the cost relative to the level of production, ๐ฅ. โ Exact Cost, Revenue and Profit โ The exact cost, revenue or profit are the cost, revenue or profit of producing the (๐ฅ + 1)st item. Exact Cost = C(x+1) - C(x) โ The marginal cost approximates the cost of the (๐ฅ + 1)st item produced.
