Answer:

a) r(q) = 1000(q +1/q)

b) r'(q) = 1000(1 -1/q^2)

c) r'(10) = 990

Explanation:

a) Revenue is the product of quantity and price:

r(q) = q·p(q) = q(1000(1 +1/q^2))

r(q) = 1000(q + 1/q)

__

b) The derivative is ...

r'(q) = 1000(1 -1/q^2)

__

c) The derivative evaluated for q=10 is ...

r'(10) = 1000(1 -1/10^2) = 1000(0.99)

r'(10) = 990
