Problem 8 Assume that the unit price of manufacturing x batches of paper towels is 1 p(x) = 412 − x2 3 (a) What is the revenue R(x) from selling these x batches? (b) Find the marginal revenue R0 (x) at x = 20. (c) Use your answer in part (b) to approximate the additional revenue from selling 2 extra batches in addition to the 20 batches from part (b). The exact answer will not give credit. (d) Find an equation for the tangent line to the graph of R(x) at x = 20. No need to simplify!
