Step 1 :First, we need to find the average cost function. We know that the derivative of the average cost function is given by \(\bar{C}^\prime(x) = -\frac{1800}{x^2}\). So, the average cost function \(\bar{C}(x)\) is the antiderivative of \(\bar{C}^\prime(x)\).
Step 2 :We can find the antiderivative of \(\bar{C}^\prime(x)\) by integrating \(\bar{C}^\prime(x)\) with respect to \(x\).
Step 3 :\[\int \bar{C}^\prime(x) dx = \int -\frac{1800}{x^2} dx = -1800 \int \frac{1}{x^2} dx\]
Step 4 :Using the power rule for integration, we get \(-1800 \int x^{-2} dx = -1800(-x^{-1}) + C = 1800\frac{1}{x} + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Step 5 :We know that \(\bar{C}(100) = 21\), so we can substitute \(x = 100\) into the equation to solve for \(C\).
Step 6 :\[21 = 1800\frac{1}{100} + C\Rightarrow C = 21 - 18 = 3\]
Step 7 :So, the average cost function is \(\bar{C}(x) = 1800\frac{1}{x} + 3\).
Step 8 :Next, we need to find the cost function. The cost function \(C(x)\) is the product of the average cost function \(\bar{C}(x)\) and \(x\).
Step 9 :So, \(C(x) = x\bar{C}(x) = x(1800\frac{1}{x} + 3) = 1800 + 3x\).
Step 10 :The fixed costs are the costs that do not change with the quantity of output, which is the constant term in the cost function. So, the fixed costs are \(\boxed{1800}\) dollars.
