c)what is the revenue if 200 units are sold? (round to the nearest hundreth as needed)
d) what quanity x maximizes revenue?
what is the maximum revenue?
e) what price should the company charge to maximize revenue?
The price p (in dollars) and the quantity x sold of a certain product obey the demand equation p x+ 100. Answer parts (a) through (e). (a) Find a model that expresses the revenue R as a function of x. (Remember, R- xp.) R(x) (Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.)Solution
a)
R(x) = x*p
= x*(-1/9 *x + 100)
= (-1/9)*x^2 + 100*x
b)
x is quantity and it can\'t be negative
so, x>=0
c)
R(x) = (-1/9)*x^2 + 100*x
put x=200,
R(x) = (-1/9)*200^2 + 100*200
= 15556
Rounding we get,
Revenue = 15600
d)
R(x) = (-1/9)*x^2 + 100*x
differentiate with respect to x,
R\'(x) = (-2/9)*x +100
put R\'(x) = 0
(-2/9)*x +100 = 0
x = 450
for x>450, R\'(x) is negative and for x<450, R\'(x) is positive
so, x = 450 maximises revenue
maximum revenue = R(450)
= (-1/9)*450^2 + 100*450
= 22500
e)
x = 450
p = (-1/9)*x +100
= (-1/9)*450 + 100
= 50
price that should be charged = 50
