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.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

Textbook Question

Chapter 4.2, Problem 90E

Revenue. A national food service runs food concessions for sporting events throughout the country. The company’s marketing research department chose a particular football stadium to test market a new jumbo hot dog. It was found that the demand for the new hot dog is given approximately by

p = 8 − 2 ln x 5 ≤ x ≤ 50

where x is the number of hot dogs (in thousands) that can be sold during one game at a price of $p.

(A) Find the local extrema for the revenue function.
(B) On which intervals is the graph of the revenue function concave upward? Concave downward?
