The revenue function is .
(a).
\At what price ,the revenue is zero.
Therefore ball will strike the ground at distance
Substitute in
.
or
.
The revenue is zero where price is $
and $
.
(b).
\The revenue is$ .
Therefore substitute in
.
Find the vertex of above quadratic function .
Compare it to .
,
and
.
Since , then the parabola open upward.
coordinate of vertex is
Vertex .
Graph:
\Graph the quadratic equation
Draw the coordinate plane.
\Plot the intercepts and vertex.
\Connect the plotted points.
\
Observe the graph:
\The price is in between $
and $
.
Hence .
(a).The price is $
and $
.
(b)..
