Question

Total revenue is in dollars and x is the number of units.

Suppose that the total revenue function for a commodity is

R = 49x − 0.02x2.
(a) Find R(100).
$

Tell what it represents.
The revenue decreases by about this amount when the number of units is increased from 100 to 101.The revenue increases by about this amount when the number of units is increased from 100 to 101.     100 units produce this amount of revenue.The actual revenue of the 100th unit is this amount.101 units produce this amount of revenue.

(b) Find the marginal revenue function.
MR =
 
 


(c) Find the marginal revenue (in dollars per unit) at
x = 100.

$ per unit
