QuestionFind the price that maximizes revenue given the demand function .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The demand function is given by . and $Q$ represent the price and quantity, respectively3. Revenue $TR$ is given by the product of price and quantity , i.e.,
STEP 2
First, we need to express the revenue in terms of price $$. We can do this by substituting the demand function into the revenue function.
STEP 3
Expand the right side of the equation.
STEP 4
To find the maximum revenue, we need to find the derivative of the revenue function with respect to price $$ and set it equal to zero. This is because the maximum or minimum of a function occurs where its derivative is zero.
STEP 5
Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for $$.
STEP 6
olve the equation for $$.
At a price of TR$ is at maximum.
