Thank you so much,
A company estimates that the revenue (in dollars) from the sale of x doghouses
is given by R(x) = 12,000 In (0.02x+1). Use the differential to approximate the
change in revenue from the sale of one more doghouse if 80 doghouses have
already been sold.
The revenue will increase by $ if one more doghouse is made.
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
