Question

Use the Maximum Revenue information above to answer this question.

The revenue function R(X) has one critical number X=_________.

 

Use the Maximum Revenue information above to answer this question.

Since R(X) is continuous, we can determine the absolute maximum by evaluating R(X) at the endpoints and the critical number. 

After doing so, we see the maximum revenue occurs when X=______   price reductions.
