A car rental company charges its customers p dollars per day, where 60 ≤ p ≤ 150. It has found that the number of cars rented per day can be modeled by the linear function n(p) = 750 - 5p. How much should the company charge each customer to maximize revenue?

For the following exercises, use your graphing calculator to input the linear graphs in the Y= graph menu. After graphing it, use the 2ndCALC button and 2:zero button, hit ENTER. At the lower part of the screen you will see “left bound?” and a blinking cursor on the graph of the line. Move this cursor to the left of the x-intercept, hit ENTER. Now it says “right bound?" Move the cursor to the right of the x-intercept, hit ENTER. Now it says “guess?” Move your cursor to the left somewhere in between the left and right bound near the x-intercept. Hit ENTER. At the bottom of your screen it will display the coordinates of the x-intercept or the “zero" to the y-value. Use this to find the x-intercept. Note: With linear/straight line functions the zero is not really a “guess,” but it is necessary to enter a “guess” so it will search and find the exact x-intercept between your right and left boundaries. With other types of functions (more than onex-intercept), they may be irrational numbers so “guess” is more appropriate to give it the correct limits to find a very close approximation between the left and right boundaries. 52.Y1=4x7
