The revenue and cost functions for the housing developer are:
C(n) = 8 + 0.065n
R(n) = 1.6 √n

Suppose that the developer found a way to reduce her variable cost to $58 000 per house. How would this affect: i) the minimum and maximum number of houses she could build? ii) her maximum potential profit? 1. 👍 0 2. 👎 0 3. 👁 59 1. Is n the number of houses sold? What are the units of C and R? Dollars or thousands of dollars? Why should R be proportional to √n and not n? Why should there be a minimum number built (other than zero)? I can't make sense of your question. 1. 👍 0 2. 👎 0 posted by drwls ## Similar Questions 1. ### advanced functions The revenue and cost functions for the housing developer are: C(n) = 8 + 0.065n R(n) = 1.6 √n Suppose that the developer found a way to reduce her variable cost to$58 000 per house.
