Algebra.Com's Answer #783317 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! x=number of $ decrease in price and increased number of rentals by 7 \n" ); document.write( "(20-x)(56+7x)=1120+84x-7x^2, which is the revenue function. \n" ); document.write( "maximum is where x=-b/2a=-84/-14=6 \n" ); document.write( "so revenue is maximized with 56+42=98 rentals paying $20-$6=$14 a night, or $1372.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the price should be $14 to maximize revenue.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " |
