Question
The revenue for a manufacturer of compute printers is given by the equation R= x(30-0.4x), where revenue is in thousands of dollars and x thousand printers are manufactured and sold.
a) Find the 2 possible numbers of printers that could be sold to bring in a revenue of $440,000?
b) Which of this possible outputs benefits the manufacturer? Explain. (Remember this function gives you revenue, not profit)
