Thingamabob Sales Yaster Inc. is trying to enter the thingamabob market. The research department established the following price-demand, cost, and revenue functions: Price- p(x) = 57 – 1.14x demand function Cost C(x) = 215 + 11x function Revenue |R(x) = xp(x) = x(57-1.14x) function where x is in thousands of thingamabobs and C'(x) and R(x) are in thousands of dollars. The price p(x) is the price in dollars of one thingamabob when the demand is a thousand x thingamabobs. All three functions have domain 1 ≤ x ≤ 50.

Yaster Inc. is trying to enter the thingamabob market. The
research department established the following price-demand,
cost, and revenue functions:
Price-
p(x) = 57 1.14x
demand
function
Cost
|C(x) = 215 + 11x
function
Revenue
|R(x) = xp(x) = x(57 — 1.14x)
function
where x is in thousands of thingamabobs and C(x) and R(x)
are in thousands of dollars. The price p(x) is the price in dollars
of one thingamabob when the demand is a thousand
thingamabobs. All three functions have domain 1 ≤ x ≤ 50.
