question 273

Multiple Choice

The revenue R (in dollars) generated by the sale of x units of a patio furniture set is given by $( x - 116 ) ^ { 2 } = - \frac { 4 } { 5 } ( R - 16,820 )$ .Approximate the number of sales that will maximize revenue.

• A) \(R = 116 x - \frac { 5 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 }\) The revenue is maximum when \(x = 116\) units.
• B) \(R = 116 x + \frac { 5 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 }\) The revenue is maximum when \(x = 16,820\) units.
• C) \(R = 290 x + \frac { 5 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 }\) The revenue is maximum when \(x = 16,820\) units.
• D) \(R = 290 x - \frac { 5 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 }\) The revenue is maximum when \(x = 116\) units.
• E) \(R = 290 x + \frac { 5 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 }\) The revenue is maximum when \(x = 290\) units.
