The revenue function for a bicycle shop is given by R(x)=x⋅p(x) dollars where x is the number of units sold and p(x)=800−0.5x is the unit price. Find the maximum revenue.

The maximum revenue is $320,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum of a function f, the procedure is as follows:

The revenue function for a bicycle shop is

R(x)=xp(x), where p(x)=800-0.5x. Substituting:

Find the first derivative of R:

R'(x)=800-x

Equate to 0:

800-x=0

Solve:

x=800

There is only one critical point. Substitute it into the revenue function:

The maximum revenue is $320,000

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
