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?
