3. Suppose the cost function of a firm is given by C(q) = 2q³ - 7q² +9q +4 where a € [0, 00), suggesting that the firm can produce any positive quantity of output. (a) Find the expressions for AC and MC. [10] (b) Find the level of output that minimizes the cost. Be sure to check all the required conditions to inform your answer. [15] (c) Outline the algorithm you would follow to sketch a graph to plot this cost function. Show how each of these steps will contribute to developing this graph. [10] 3.
