for the demand equation express the total revenue R as a function of the price p per item q=-8p+180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im guessing that -8 is your variable cost per item and 180 is your fixed cost?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i need to determine is the pricep that maximizes total revenue in this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that equation the only information they give you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R(p)= yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you any way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, do you know how to take derivatives?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only other way I know how to solve this is by taking the derivative of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No sorry
