Math Problem Statement

It has been determined that the cost of producing x units of a certain item is 8x+720 . The demand function is given by p=D(x)=41−0.3x .

Step 1 of 2 : Find the revenue function.

Solution

The revenue function R(x)R(x) is found by multiplying the price per unit p(x)p(x) by the number of units sold xx.

The demand function, which gives the price per unit, is p=D(x)=410.3xp = D(x) = 41 - 0.3x.

Thus, the revenue function is:

R(x)=xp(x)R(x) = x \cdot p(x)

Substitute p(x)=410.3xp(x) = 41 - 0.3x into the equation:

R(x)=x(410.3x)R(x) = x \cdot (41 - 0.3x)

Simplify the expression:

R(x)=41x0.3x2R(x) = 41x - 0.3x^2

So, the revenue function is:

R(x)=41x0.3x2R(x) = 41x - 0.3x^2

Tip: The maximum revenue typically occurs where the derivative of the revenue function equals zero, as this finds the critical points for maximization.
