Question
### Calculating Production Costs for Bagels

#### Cost Function
The dollar cost of producing \( x \) bagels is given by the function:

\[ C(x) = 300 + 0.25x - 0.6 \left( \frac{x}{1000} \right)^3 \]

#### Questions to Solve

1. **Determine the Cost of Producing 3000 Bagels**

    Using the given cost function, we need to calculate the cost for \( x = 3000 \) and provide the answer to one decimal place.

    \[ C(3000) = \$ \]

2. **Estimate the Cost of the 3001st Bagel**

    To estimate the cost of producing the 3001st bagel, consider the incremental cost by examining the derivative if necessary and provide the answer to three decimal places.

    \[ \text{Cost of the 3001st bagel} = \$ \]

#### Steps to Solve

1. **Substitute \( x = 3000 \) into the cost function**

   \[ C(3000) = 300 + 0.25(3000) - 0.6 \left( \frac{3000}{1000} \right)^3 \]

2. **Simplify the Expression**

   Calculate each term step-by-step to find the total cost.

3. **For the 3001st Bagel**

   Approximate the marginal cost by differentiating \( C(x) \) and evaluating at \( x = 3000 \), or calculate \( C(3001) - C(3000) \).

#### Providing the Answers

Make sure to present your final answers clearly with the appropriate decimal precision as requested in the questions.
