V. In the production and selling of x units of a certain merchandise, the function price p and the
function cost C (in dollars) are given by
p ( x ) = 5.00 − 0.002 x

gives the maximum revenue.

inch piece of cardboard and folding up the flaps. [See Fig. 10(b).] Find the value of x for which
the volume of the box will be as large as possible.

IV. Income: xp( x) = 5.00 x − 0.002 x 2 , marginal income: 5.00 − 0.004 x ,

Marginal cost: C ' ( x) = 1.10 .

Revenue: Income – Cost: 5.00 x − 0.002 x 2 − ( 3.00 + 1.10 x )


= −3.00 + 3.9 x − 0.002 x 2 .

Marginal revenue: 3.9 − 0.004 x .

Maximum revenue: x = 975 .

VI.

Volume: V = w2 x Objective equation.


w = 16 − 2 x Constraint equation.
V = (16 − 2 x ) x We substitute the expression for w (constraint
2
equation) in the expression for the volume
(
V = 256 − 64 x + 4 x 2 x ) (objective equation). That way, the expression
for the volume depends on just one variable,
V = 256 x − 64 x 2 + 4 x 3 x.
V ' = 256 − 128 x + 12 x 2 We want to find the maximum of the function
for the volume, so we find its derivative, and
V '= 0 set it equal to zero.
256 − 128 x + 12 x 2 = 0
64 − 32 x + 3 x 2 = 0
− ( − 32 ) ± ( 32) 2 − 4( 3)( 64) We can’t solve this equation using
x= factorization, so we use the general formula
2( 3) for second degree equations:
32 ± 16 − b ± b 2 − 4ac .
x= x=
6 2a
x1 = 8, x 2 ≈ 2.7.

Finally, we choose x = 2.7 as our final answer, the other value (x = 8), is a minimum, because if
we evaluate the second derivative of the volume ( V ' ' = −128 + 24 x ) with x = 8, we obtain a
positive value, which means that the function is concave up at x = 8.
