If demand is p=100xp = 100 - x and Revenue is xpx \cdot p, what is the revenue function?

A

R(x)=100xx2R(x) = 100x - x^2

B

R(x)=100x2R(x) = 100 - x^2

C

R(x)=100x+x2R(x) = 100x + x^2

D

R(x)=x2100xR(x) = x^2 - 100x

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Revenue is Quantity times Price.

  1. R(x)=x(100x)R(x) = x \cdot (100 - x).
  2. Distribute: R(x)=100xx2R(x) = 100x - x^2.

Choice B is incorrect. Choice C is incorrect. Choice D is incorrect.
