However, since the price cannot be greater than 471, the maximum revenue is achieved when
Step 1 :First, we need to find the revenue function. The revenue is given by the price times the quantity sold, or
Step 2 :We want to maximize this expression. To do this, we can take the derivative of the revenue function with respect to
Step 3 :The derivative of
Step 4 :Setting this equal to zero, we get
Step 5 :Squaring both sides to eliminate the square root, we get
Step 6 :Multiplying both sides by
Step 7 :Solving this quadratic equation, we get
Step 8 :Substituting
Step 9 :Solving this equation, we get
Step 10 :However, since the price cannot be greater than 471, the maximum revenue is achieved when
