The revenue for a manufacturer of compute printers is given by the equation R= x(30-0.4x), where revenue is in thousands of dollars and x thousand printers are manufactured and sold. a) Find the 2 possible numbers of printers that could be sold to bring in a revenue of $440,000? b) Which of this possible outputs benefits the manufacturer? Explain. (Remember this function gives you revenue, not profit)
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
