Algebra.Com's Answer #496452 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The manufacturer of a CD player has found that the revenue R (in dollars) is \n" ); document.write( "R(p)=-5p(squared)+1330p when the unit price is p dollars. If the manufacturer sets the price p to maximize revenue, what is the maximum revenue to the nearest whole dollar? \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "To find maximum R(p) \n" ); document.write( "1. Find the vertex of R(p) \n" ); document.write( "OR \n" ); document.write( "2. Find and solve the derivative of R(p) ; if you know calculus. \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Find the vertex:: \n" ); document.write( "Max occurs when p = -b/(2a) = -1330/(2(-5)) = 133 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Max Revenue = R(133) = $88445 \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "=============== \n" ); document.write( " |
