A firm has a revenue function that can be represented by r (x)=700x-0.35x^2, where r (x) is the total revenue (in dollars) and x

is the number of units sold. How many units need to be sold to produce the maximum revenue? How many in dollars is the maximum revenue when the maximum of units are sold?

Answer:

How many units need to be sold to produce the maximum revenue? 1000 units

How many in dollars is the maximum revenue when the maximum of units are sold? $350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We get max value of a function if we differentiate it and set it equal to 0.

We need to differentiate r(x) and set it equal to 0 and solve for x.

<u><em>That would be number of units sold to get max revenue.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u>Then we take that "x" value and substitute into r(x) to get the max revenue amount.</u>

<u />

Before differentiating, we see the rules shown below:

f(x)=ax^n\\f'(x)=n*ax^{n-1}

Where

f'(x) is the differentiated function

Now, let's do the process:

r (x)=700x-0.35x^2\\r(x)=700-2*0.35x\\r(x)=700-0.7x\\0=700-0.7x\\0.7x=700\\x=1000

So, 1000 units need to be sold for max revenue

Now, substituting, we get:

r (x)=700x-0.35x^2\\r(1000)=700(1000)-0.35(1000)^2\\r(1000)=350,000

The max revenue amount is $350,000

Solve the polynomial inequality x^2-3x-10&gt;0
djverab [1.8K]

As x² - 3x - 10 factors, we can use the zero product property and pull it apart into factors. It factors because 2 and 5 have a difference of 3 and product of 10

x² - 3x - 10 > 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) > 0

To find where the inequality is true, we use a sign test. When x-5 > 0, it means x >5, and 5 is one of our sign test values. Similarly, -2 is the other. We can then make three intervals - A (less than -2), B (between -2 and 5), and C (more than 5).

<--------------- -2 ------------------ 5 -------------------------->

A B C

To do a sign test, we choose values to see what happens. First, test x = -5.

(-5 - 5)(-5 + 2) = (-10)(-3) = 30. Because 30 > 0, the inequality is true for x < -2. So interval A is true.

Next, test x = 0.

(0 - 5) (0 + 2) = (-5)(2) = -10. Because -10 < 0 is false, the inequality is false for x > -2 and x < 5. So interval B is false.

Last, test x = 10

(10 - 5) (10 + 2) = (5) (8) = 40. Because 40 > 0 is true, the inequality is true for x > 5. So interval C is true.

We put the true intervals together.

(-∞, -2) ∪ (5, ∞) is where this inequality is true,

{x : x < -2 or x > 5} is also how it's said in set notation.
