(i) quantify the bottled water consumption increase from 2011 to 2012 in terms of absolute change. (express your answer in billions of gallons rounded correctly to the hundredths place.) billions of gallons (ii) if bottled water sales are up by 6.7% in 2012 to a total of $11.8 billion, what were the sales in 2011? (express your answer in billions of dollars rounded correctly to the nearest tenth.) $ billion (iii) quantify the bottled water consumption increase from 2011 to 2012 in terms of relative change. (express your answer as a percent rounded correctly to the nearest tenth of a percent.) % if you haven't answ

If p(x) is the total value of the production when there are x workers in a plant, then the average productivity of the workforce at the plant is a(x) = p(x) x . (a) find a'(x). a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p'(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − xp(x) x2 why does the company want to hire more workers if a'(x) > 0? a'(x) > 0 ⇒ a(x) is ; that is, the average productivity as the size of the workforce increases. (b) if p'(x) is greater than the average productivity, which of the following must be true? p'(x) − xp(x) > 0 p'(x) − xp(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p'(x) > 0 xp'(x) − p(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p(x) > 0
