Answer

p=$50 - 3x^{\frac{2}{3}}$

Work Step by Step

R(x)= $\int (50 - 5x^{\frac{2}{3}})dx$ = $50x - 3x^{\frac{5}{3}} + C$ To find the C, we know R(0)=0 since if no items are sold, the revenue is 0. So: $0 = 50(0)- 3(0)^{\frac{5}{3}} + C$ $C = 0$ Thus, the revenue function is: R(x) = $50x - 3x^{\frac{5}{3}}$ Recall that R= qp, where p is the demand function giving the price p as a function of q. Then $50x - 3x^{\frac{5}{3}} = xp$ $\frac{50x - 3x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{x} = p$ The demand function is p=$50 - 3x^{\frac{2}{3}}$
