Question

The marketing department of a company estimates that the demand for a product is given by P = 68 - 0.010x dollars, where P is the price per unit and x is the number of units. The cost of producing x units is given by C = 420 + 50x dollars, and the profit for producing x units is given by P = R - C = Px - C. Sketch the graph of the profit function and estimate the number of units that would produce a maximum profit. x for maximum:

Step 1

010x\) into the profit equation \(P = Px - C\) to get the profit function in terms of \(x\): \[P = (68 - 0.010x)x - (420 + 50x)\] ** Show more…
