To calculate marginal revenue, find the derivative of the revenue function, and then substitute number of units
into the derivative function.
Therefore, R%28y%29=+-+3y%5E2+%2B+522y+-+320 becomes: MR%28y%29+=+-+6y+%2B+522, which becomes: MR%28y%29+=+-+6%2821%29+%2B+522 ----- Substituting 21 for y
MR%28y%29+=+-+126+%2B+522, or highlight_green%28MR%28y%29+=+396%29.
You can do the check!!
