If C(x) = 15000 + 400x - 1.2x^2 + 0.004x^3 is the cost function and p(x) = 2800 - 6x is the demand function, find the production level that will maximize profit. (Hint: If the profit is maximized, then the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost.)
Added by Nicole F.
Step 1
The revenue function R(x) is the product of the price per unit and the number of units sold, which is p(x) * x. So, R(x) = (2800 - 6x) * x = 2800x - 6x^2. Show more…
