Question
Let
p=24−x
and
​C(x)=329+5​x,
where x is the number of garden hoses that can be sold at a price of​ $p per unit and​ C(x) is the total cost​ (in dollars) of producing x garden hoses.
 
​(A)
Express the revenue function in terms of x.
​(B)
Graph the cost function and the revenue function in the same viewing window for
0≤x≤576.
Use approximation techniques to find the​ break-even points.
Expert Solution
Step 1

(a) Consider the given information.

The profit function and the cost function is px=24x and C(x)=329+5x, respectively.

The revenue is the amount of money from the garden for producing and selling x garden hosed $p per hose is defined as,

R=Number of garden hose×price per garden hose=xp

The revenue function R(x) is computed as follows.

Rx=xpx=x24-x=24x-x32

Thus, the revenue function is Rx=24x-x32.
