The price of an item is given by p = 2x to the power of 2 - 100.
Find the polynomial that represents the revenue generated from the sale of x items.
If the price was $3 per item and you sold 2 items your revenue would be
3(2)=$6.
Your price is p=2x^2-100 and the price per unit is "x".
So revenue is x(2x^2 - 100) = 2x^2-100x
Cheers,
Stan H.
