a) Find a function for Revenue, with respect to the number of price increases.
Your function will be R (x) = (number of products sold) x (price). It is

items.

the price of the item.]

c) Determine the roots of R (x) and interpret them in the context of the
question.
d) Determine the maximum or minimum values of R (x) and interpret them in
the context of the question.
