Answer

a. $R=-\frac{1}{6}x^2+100x,$ b. Domain of $R$ is $0\leq x\leq 600,$ c. $R(x)=13333.33,$ d. $R(x)=-\frac{1}{6}(x-300)^2+15000,$ e. $p=50$

Work Step by Step

$p=-\frac{1}{6}x+100,$ a. $R=xp,$ $R=x(-\frac{1}{6}x+100)=-\frac{1}{6}x^2+100x,$ b. Domain of $R$ is the quantity $x$ of certain product sold, which is $600\geq x\geq0,$ c. $R(x)=-\frac{1}{6}(200)^2+100(200)=13333.33,$ d. $R(x)=-\frac{1}{6}x^2+100x,$ $=-\frac{1}{6}(x^2-600x),$ $=-\frac{1}{6}(x^2-600x+90000)+15000,$ $=-\frac{1}{6}(x-300)^2+15000,$ Therefore, $x=300$ is going to maximize revenue and the maximum revenue is $15000,$ e. for $x=300,$ the price for the maximum revenue is, $p=-\frac{1}{6}(300)+100=50$
