I am new to business Mathematics, Can I anyone help me understand how to solve the following problems.
Product demand function :
q(p) = 900 – 3p
p – price of one product
q – sold amount of a product with the p (price)
The input (expenses) function:
C(q) = 90 + 2q
Using second derivative find the revenue and profit maximum.
Can anyone help me how can I solve this, I have read some good answer to somewhat relevant question here but I am unable to grasp the concept
Here are some useful formulae to help you get started:
Revenue is just the total income (without accounting for cost). So here, this is just the number of units sold times the price you sold them for, i.e. $R(p)=p\times q(p)$.
Profit takes into account the cost, so it will just be $P(p)=R(p)-C(q(p))$. Hope this helps!
Also, if you need help with derivatives, just remember the power rule $\frac{d}{dp} p^k = kp^{k-1}$
