2. The function q(p) = 5e^(.01p2−3p+10) models the demand of bananas when price is set at
p dollars per pound.
(a) Find the function R(p) to model revenue generated by banana sales when price
is set at p dollars per pound.
(b) Find the derivative R′(p), clearly explaining the process using chain rule and/or
product rule when necessary.
(c) Evaluate both R(p) and R′(p) when p = 0.33. Interpret both with a complete
sentence answering the questions: When? What? How? By how much?
(d) Evaluate both R(p) and R′(p) when p = 0.34. Interpret both with a complete
sentence answering the questions: When? What? How? By how much?
