Question

Transcribed Image Text:The revenue equation (in hundreds of millions of dollars) for barley production in a certain country is approximated by \( R(x) = 0.0705x^2 + 1.4125x + 2.1624 \) where \( x \) is in hundreds of millions of bushels. Find the marginal-revenue equation and use it to find the marginal revenue for the production of the given number of bushels.
---
### Explanation:
- **Equation Details**: The equation given represents the revenue in hundreds of millions of dollars, based on barley production measured in hundreds of millions of bushels. It is a quadratic equation of the form \( R(x) = ax^2 + bx + c \).
- **Objective**:
- **Marginal-Revenue Equation**: The task involves differentiating the given revenue function \( R(x) \) to find its derivative, commonly known as the marginal-revenue equation.
- **Marginal Revenue Calculation**: Evaluate the derived equation at a specific value of \( x \) to determine the marginal revenue for that level of production.
