Step 1  :

\

Given that :

\

\"\" is the price in dollars.

\

\"\" is the quantity sold of a certain product .

\

The demand equation is \"\".

\

Solve \"\" for \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Step 2  :

\

(a)

\

The revenue \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Revenue \"\".

\

Step 3  :

\

(b)

\

The quantity sold of a certain product \"\".

\

Revenue \"\".

\

\"\"

\

The revenue if 15 units are sold is\"\".

\

Step 4  :

\

(c)

\

The function \"\" is a quadratic function.

\

Compare the function with standard form of a quadratic function.

\

\"\".

\

Since \"\", the vertex is the highest point on the parabola.

\

The revenue \"\" is a maximum when the quantity sold of a certain product \"\" is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Maximum revenue

\

\"\"

\

Maximum revenue is\"\"

\

Step 5  :

\

(d)

\

The price \"\".

\

Maximum revenue is\"\" at \"\".

\

At \"\", the company charge to maximum price.

\

The maximum price,

\

\"\"

\

\"\" should the company charge to maximize the revenue.

\

Step 6 :

\

(e)

\

Graph \"\" and \"\" are on the same Cartesian plane.

\

Find where the graphs intersects.

\

\"\"

\

The graph is shown below :

\

 \"\"

\

The graphs intersect at \"\"

\

From the graph the company should charge between \"\" to earn at least \"\" in revenue.
