![1. Revenue is calculated by multiplying the price of an item by the quantity sold:
Revenue = Price • Quantity
For a particular item the price is x dollars
At that price of x dollars the quantity sold is 2x + 30+ 100.
a. Write a function for the revenue in terms of the price (your equation should only contain
variables for revenue and price).
b. Profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of making the item from the revenue
generated by selling the item: Profit = Revenue – Cost
For the particular item in part (a), the cost of making the item is 3x² +15x, where x is
again the price of the item.
Write a function for the profit in terms of the price (your equation should only contain
variables for profit and price).
c. Find the price that gives the maximum profit. Also, find that maximum profit.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd03fd6c4-dbe9-42bb-81e4-a86e8772af8f%2F61f803a2-5bf8-453e-ab83-5e023d13c771%2F1udwng_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
