Question

The revenue of the company is given by the equation R = x (1000 – 4x), where R is the revenue of the company in dollars when thy sell x units of a product. How many units of the product should they sell to make a revenue of $60,000

Answer 1

100 or 150 units of the product.

Explanation:

R = x(1000-4x)

What is the value of x if R = 60,000?

x(1000-4x) = 60000

-4x^2 + 1000x = 60000

x^2 - 250x = -15000

x^2 - 250x + 15000 = 0

Factorize:

(x-100)(x-150) = 0

x-100 = 0 V x-150 = 0

x = 100 V x = 150
