C ' (x) = 80 - 80(1/x) = 0 for a min
80 = 80/x
1 = 1/x
x = 1
state the conclusion
80 = 80/x
1 = 1/x
x = 1
state the conclusion

the average cost is C(x)/x = 700/x + 80 - 80lnx/x
C'(x) = 20/x^2 (4lnx - 39)
C' = 0 at x = e^(39/4) ≈ 17154
C(17154) = 80
C'(x) = 20/x^2 (4lnx - 39)
C' = 0 at x = e^(39/4) ≈ 17154
C(17154) = 80
