True or False? Justify the answer with a proof or a counterexample.
1) Every function has a derivative.
- Answer
- False
2) A continuous function has a continuous derivative.
3) A continuous function has a derivative.

Questions 23 and 24 we are given the following information: The cost function for a company that manufactures widgets is given by \(C(q)=100+\dfrac{2}{q}+\dfrac{q}{4}\), where \(q\) is the number of widgets manufactured.
23) Find the equation for the marginal cost function, \(MC(q)\).
24) Find \(MC(20).\) What is the meaning of this value?
- Answer
- \(MC(20)=0.245\). This is an approximation to the cost of the 21st widget manufactured.
