(a) Explanation Given Information: The provided revenue function is, R ( t ) = 350 ( 39 t + 68 ) e − 0.3 t . Formula used: Steps to solve optimization problems: Step 1: Identify the unknowns with the aid of diagram. Step 2: Identify the objective function, the quantity to maximize or minimize. Step 3: Identify the constraint, the equations relating variables or inequalities expressing limitations on the value of the variables. Step 4: State the optimization problem Step 5: Eliminate the extra variables, solve the constraint for one unknown and substitute in the objective function. Step 6: Find the absolute maximum or absolute minimum of the objective function. Calculation: Consider the provided revenue function, R ( t ) = 350 ( 39 t + 68 ) e − 0.3 t Now, differentiate the objective function or the revenue function with respect to t as, R ′ ( t ) = 350 ( 39 ) e − 0.3 t − 0.3 ( 350 ) ( 39 t + 68 ) e − 0.3 t = 350 ( 39 − 11.7 t − 20.4 ) e − 0.3 t = 350 ( 18.6 − 11.7 t ) e − 0.3 t To obtain stationary points, set R ′ ( t ) = 0 as, 350 ( 18.6 − 11.7 t ) e − 0 (b) To determine To calculate: The revenue to the nearest $ 1 million at the time to the nearest when the revenue was projected to peak if the provided revenue function is R ( t ) = 350 ( 39 t + 68 ) e − 0.3 t .

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
