Answer:
The correct answer is NO. The best price to be charged is $3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Demand equation is given by Q = 30 - 4P, where Q is the quantity of necklaces demanded and P is the price of the necklace.
⇒ 4P = 30 - Q
⇒ P =
The current price of the necklace $10.
Revenue function is given by R = P × Q = × ( 30Q -
)
To maximize the revenue function we differentiate the function with respect to Q and equate it to zero.
=
× ( 30 - 2Q) = 0
⇒ Q = 15.
The second order derivative is negative showing that the value of Q is maximum.
Therefore P at Q = 15 is $3.75.
Thus to maximize revenue the price should be $3.75.

Answer:
The function is increasing for all real values of x where
x < –4.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
The vertex (h,k) represent a maximum
The roots of the function (or x-intercepts) are x=-6 and x=-2
The x-coordinate of the vertex is the midpoint of the roots
so
The y-coordinate of the vertex is
substitute the x-coordinate of the vertex in the quadratic equation
The vertex is the point (-4,4)
The function is increasing in the interval (-∞,-4)
The function is decreasing in the interval (-4,∞)
