The manufacturer of a CD player has found that the revenue R (in dollars) is R(p) = -5p2 + 1510p, when the unit price is p dollars. If the manufacturer sets the price p to maximize revenue, what is the maximum revenue to the nearest whole dollar?

Respuesta :

Answer:

maximum revenue is 114005

Step-by-step explanation:

for the function R(p) to attain its maximum value R'(p) must be 0.

that is the slope of R(p) must be 0.

R(p) = [tex]-5p^{2} + 1510p[/tex]

R'(p) = [tex]-10p + 1510[/tex]

therefore [tex]-10p + 1510 = 0[/tex]

therefore R(p) is maximum when p = 151

therefore R(151) = [tex]-5(151^{2} )+1510(151)[/tex]

                          = 114005
