The price of an item is given by p = 2x^2 - 100. Find the polynimial that represents the revenue generated from the sale of x
:
WE know that Revenue R(x) = price (p), times, no. of items sold (x)
:
Given the price: p = 2x^2 - 100
Given x = no of items sold:
Therefore:
R(x) = x*(2x^2 - 100)
R(x) = 2x^3 - 100x
