Homework Help: Calc w/ Business

Posted by Ben !!!HELP!!! on Sunday, November 25, 2007 at 9:29pm.

I have to determine the price that needs to be charged to obtain the largest revenue.

q=-p^2+33p+9 so
R=p(-p^2+33p+9) or =-p^3+33p^2+9p
I then need to take the derivative
R'=-3p^2+66p+9
Now I somehow need to solve for p to determine my price to obtain my largest revenue. How do I do this.

To find a maximum, set your marginal revenue (R') equal to zero. Now then, R' is a quadradic equation. So, use the quadradic formula.
-b +- sqrt(b^2+4ac) / 2a
