- Revenue The revenue R (in millions of dollars) for a construction company from 2003 through 2010 can be modeled by R=0.1104t45.152t3+88.20t2654.8t+1907,7t16 where t represents the year, with t=7 corresponding to 2007. (a) Use a graphing utility to approximate any relative minima or maxima of the model over its domain. (b) Use the graphing utility to approximate the intervals on which the revenue for the company is increasing and decreasing over its domain. (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to describe the company’s revenue during this time period.arrow_forwardThe reproduction function for a sardine is f(p) = −0.0004p2 + 2p, where p and f(p) are in hundred metric tons.

- Marginal Profit for an Apartment Complex Lynbrook West, an apartment complex, has 100 two-bedroom units. The monthly profit (in dollars) realized from renting x apartments is P(x)= -10x^2 + 1760x - 50,000 a.) What is the actual profit realized from renting the 51st unit, assuming that 50 units already been rented? b.) Compute the marginal profit when x=50, and compare your results with that obtained in part (a).arrow_forwardAlgebra Suppose that the function p(x) approximates the function f(x) with a maximum error of ε over the interval [a, b].
