Question 205620: A manufacturer of screened porches sells a model that sell for p dollars. The revenue from the sale of this model is given by the following polynomial:

R=-.0.25p^2 + 250p
If revenue is found by multiplying price by demand, what is the polynomial representing the demand?
Hint: Factor!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
R=-0.25p%5E2+%2B+250p
You are told Revenue, R, is price * demand. Price is represented by p. Let demand be represented by d.
Revenue+=+Price+%2A+Demand
R+=+p+%2A+d
-0.25p%5E2+%2B+250p+=+p+%2A+d
-0.25p+%2B+250+=+d
Which is the same result you would get by factoring out a p from the original equation for R
