Question 998203: The demand equation for a certain product is given by p=108-0.001x, where p is the unit price(in dollars) of the product and x is the number of units produced and sold. The cost equation for the product is C=85x+150,000, where C is the total cost(in dollars) and x is the number of products produced and sold. The revenue equation for the product is R = xp, where R is the total revenue(in dallars), p is the unit price (in dallars), and x is number of products produced and sold.
