Let's analyze and solve the given problem. The cost function provided is:

$C(x) = 220 + 700x + x^2$

where $C(x)$ represents the total cost to produce $x$ items.

The questions require us to:

a) Find the average cost at the production level $x = 1350$.

The average cost function is given by:

$\text{Average Cost} = \frac{C(x)}{x} = \frac{220 + 700x + x^2}{x}$

For $x = 1350$, substitute this value into the equation to compute the average cost.

b) Find the production level $x$ that minimizes the average cost.

This requires finding the critical points of the average cost function, which involves taking its derivative, setting it equal to zero, and solving for $x$.

c) Find the minimal average cost.

Substitute the $x$-value from part (b) into the average cost function to compute the minimal average cost.
