Given:

Cost function c(x) = I0x+13

Profit Function p(x) = -0.3x² + 47x - 13

Find: revenue function r(x)

Solution:

To solve for the revenue function, simply add the cost and the profit function.


(10x+13)+(-0.3x^2+47x-13)

Eliminate the parenthesis.


10x+13-0.3x^2+47x-13

Rearrange the terms according to their degree.


-0.3x^2+47x+10x+13-13

Combine similar terms.


-0.3x^2+57x

Therefore, the revenue function r(x) is -0.3x² + 57x or by commutative property, the revenue function R(x) = 57x - 0.3x². (Option 3).
