Algebra.Com's Answer #378825 by flame8855(424)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! check the function again i think it should be -x^2 +50x+5000 \n" ); document.write( "ok so do the derivative and set it equal to 0 \n" ); document.write( "-2x+50=0 \n" ); document.write( "x=25 \n" ); document.write( "now maximum revenue subsitute x =25 \n" ); document.write( "R(25)= -(25^2)+50(25)+5000 \n" ); document.write( "= -625+1250 +5000 = 5625.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
