Question
f(x) = -500x2 + 25,000x
The revenue f (x), in dollars, that a company receives from sales of a product is given by the function f above, where x is the unit price, in dollars, of the product. The graph of y = f (x) in the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at 0 and a. What does a represent?
- The revenue, in dollars, when the unit price of the product is $0
- The unit price, in dollars, of the product that will result in maximum revenue
- The unit price, in dollars, of the product that will result in a revenue of $0
- The maximum revenue, in dollars, that the company can make
The correct answer is: The unit price, in dollars, of the product that will result in a revenue of $0
The intersection of f(x) of x-axis is the f(x) = 0
f(x) = 0 is the revenue is $0.
