Answer

p=$\frac{600x - 25000e^{0.0002x} + 25000}{x} $

Work Step by Step

R(x)= $\int (600 - 5e^{0.0002x})dx$ = $600x - 25000e^{0.0002x} + C$ To find the C, we know R(0)=0 since if no items are sold, the revenue is 0. So: $0 = 600(0)- 25000e^{0.0002*0} + C$ $C = 25000$ Thus, the revenue function is: R(x) = $600x - 25000e^{0.0002x} + 25000$ Recall that R= qp, where p is the demand function giving the price p as a function of q. Then $600x - 25000e^{0.0002x} + 25000= xp$ $\frac{600x - 25000e^{0.0002x} + 25000}{x} = p$ The demand function is p=$\frac{600x - 25000e^{0.0002x} + 25000}{x} $
