- Formula for Maximum and Minimum Values Find the maximum or minimum value of the function. f(s)=s21.2s+16arrow_forwardSales Growth In this exercise, we develop a model for the growth rate G, in thousands of dollars per year, in sales of the product as a function of the sales level s, in thousands of dollars. The model assumes that there is a limit to the total amount of sales that can be attained. In this situation, we use the term unattained sales for difference this limit and the current sales level. For example, if we expect sales grow to 3 thousand dollars in the long run, then 3-s is the unattained sales. The model states that the growth rate G is proportional to the product of the sales level s, and the unattained sales. Assume that the constant of proportionality is 0.3 and that the sales grow to 2 thousand dollars in the long run. a.Find the formula for unattained sales. b.Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. c.On the basis of the equation from the part b, make a graph of G as a function of s. d.At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? e.What is the largest possible growth rate?arrow_forwardRevenue A manufacturer finds that the revenue generated by selling x units of a certain commodity is given by the function R(x)=80x0.4x2, where the revenue R(x) is measured in dollars. What is the maximum revenue? and how many units should be manufactured to obtain this maximum?arrow_forward
