It is known that producing an air conditioner requires variable costs of $100 per unit and $5000 fixed costs. If the air conditioning company advertises at a cost of $x, it is estimated that the number of air conditioners sold is x1/2. The selling price of the air conditioner is $300 per unit. • Is the function formed a convex function? Explain! • Determine the amount of advertising costs that must be incurred by the company to get maximum profit by using Newton's method, only two iterations are needed! Use x=1 as the starting point of the iteration.
