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
