4 Functions - Quadratic Revenue Modeling · Level 3
A school fund-raising group sells chocolate bars to help finance a swimming pool for their physical education program. The group finds that when they set their price at \(x\) dollars per bar (where \(0 < x \leq 5\)), their total sales revenue (in dollars) is given by the function \(R(x) = -500x^2 + 3000x\).
(a) Evaluate \(R(2)\) and \(R(4)\). What do these values represent?
(b) Use a graphing calculator to draw a graph of \(R\). What does the graph tell us about what happens to revenue as the price increases from \(0\) to \(5\) dollars?
(c) What is the maximum revenue, and at what price is it achieved?
