The manager of a company that produces graphing calculators determines that when x thousand calculators are produced, they will all be sold when the price is p(x) = 800/0.2x2+6 dollars per calculator. The revenue derived from the sale of x thousand calculators is R(x)=xp(x) thousand dollars. At what rate is revenue changing when 3000 calculators are produced? Is revenue increasing or decreasing at this level of production?
