Suppose a baby food company has determined that its total revenue R for its food is given by R = − x ^3 + 102 x ^2 + 1575 x where R is measured in dollars and x is the number of units (in thousands) produced. What production level will yield a maximum revenue?

I wish I knew how to do this but I am only on 6th grade lol but I wish I could help you

Answer:

The production level will yield a maximum revenue when production level is approximately equal to 75,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue is given by  

R(x) = [tex]-x^3 + 102x^2 + 1575x[/tex]

First, we differentiate R(x) with respect to x, to get,

[tex]\frac{d(R(x))}{dx} = -3x^2 + 204x + 1575[/tex]

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

[tex]\frac{d(R(x))}{dx} = 0\\\\ -3x^2 + 204x + 1575 = 0[/tex]

Solving, with the help of quadratic formula, we get,

[tex]x = 75, -7[/tex]

Again differentiation R(x), with respect to x, we get,

[tex]\frac{d^2(R(x))}{dx^2} = -6x + 204[/tex]

At x = 75

[tex]\frac{d^2(R(x))}{dx^2} < 0[/tex]

Thus, maxima occurs at x = 75 for R(x).

Thus, the production level will yield a maximum revenue when production level is approximately equal to 75,000.
