Revenue, The marketing research department for a company that manufactures and sells "notebook" computers established the following price-demand and revenue functions.
p(x)=2,000-60x (price demand function)
R(x) = xp(x) (revenue function)
=x(2,000-60x)
Where p(x) is the wholesale price in dollars at which x thousand computers can be sold, and R(x) is in thousands of dollars. Both functions have a domain 1<(with an underline under <) x <(with an under line under<) 25.
