Question

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose that the total cost of producing q widgets is given by
C(q) = 0.02q? + 50q + 1000. Also, suppose that the price of a
widget is determined by p = 100 – 0.005q.
a.
What is the total revenue function?
R(q)
b.
What is the total profit function?
T(q)
Graph the cost and revenue functions over a suitable interval on
the same set of axes. Sketch the graph below. Be sure to label
both curves. Indicate the region between the two curves that
represents a profit. Also, indicate the region(s) that represent a
loss. On a seperate set of axes, sketch the profit function on the
same interval. Indicate profit and loss on this graph. Write
interved
