Given cost function c(x)=714+10x−0.078x2c(x)=714+10x−0.078x2.

The average cost function is :

ca(x)=714x+10−0.078x.ca(x)=714x+10−0.078x.

Rate of change of average cost is:

c′a(x)=−714x2−0.078ca′(x)=−714x2−0.078

Rate of change of average when x=676x=676 is:

c′a(676)=−7146762−0.078=−0.00156−0.078=0.07956
