- Flat-screen television sets A wholesaler of appliance finds that she can sell (1200x) flat-screen television sets each week when the price is x dollars. What price will maximize revenue?arrow_forwardSales A soft-drink vendor at a popular beach analyzes his sales records and find that if he sells x cans of soda pop in one day, his profit (in dollars) is given by P(x)=0.001x2+3x1800 What is his maximum profit per day, and how many cans must he sell for maximum profit?arrow_forwardSelling concert tickets Tickets for a concert are cheaper when purchased in quantity. The first 100 tickets are priced at 10 each, but each additional block of 100 tickets purchased decreases the cost of each ticket by 50. How many blocks of tickets should be sold to maximize the revenue?arrow_forward
- Digital cameras A company that produces and sells digital cameras has determined that the total weekly cost C of producing x digital cameras is given by the function C(x)=1.5x2150x+4850. Determine the production level that minimizes the weekly cost for producing the digital cameras and find that weekly minimum cost.arrow_forwardProfit The demand equation for a microwave oven is given by p=1400.0001x, where p is the unit price (in dollars) of the microwave oven and x is the number of units sold. The cost equation for the microwave oven is C=80x+150,000, where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. The total profit P obtained by producing and selling x units is modeled by P=xpC. (a) Find the profit function P in terms of x. (b) Find the profit when 250,000 units are sold. (c) Find the unit price when 250,000 units are sold. (d) Find (if possible) the unit price that will yield a profit of 10 million dollars. If not possible, explain why.arrow_forwardAgriculture At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 lb of grapes in a season when about 700 vines are planted per acre. For each additional vine that is planted, the production of each vine decreases by about 1 percent. So, the number of pounds of grapes produced per acre is modeled by An=700+n10-0.01n where n is the number of additional vines planted. Find the number of vines that should be planted to maximize grape production.arrow_forward
