0. We need to write a function for Dynamo's monthly total costs.

2. Solution Steps

The total cost is the sum of the fixed costs and the variable costs. The variable costs are the cost per unit multiplied by the number of units. Let $x$ be the number of units manufactured.

Fixed Costs = $1040

Variable Cost per unit = $3.50

Number of Units = $x$

Variable Costs = $3.50x$

Total Costs, $C(x)$ = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs

$C(x) = 1040 + 3.50x$

3. Final Answer

$C(x) = 1040 + 3.50x$
