Answer

a. $26000-400x$ b. $26000x-400x^2$

Work Step by Step

a. We can express the relation between the number of spectators and the ticket price as $N(x)=20000-400(x-15)=26000-400x$ so that $N(15)=20000$ and $N$ decreases by $400$ for every dollar increase in price. b. The revenue can be expressed as $R=Nx=26000x-400x^2$
