Widget Sales Jesaki Inc. is trying to enter the widget market. The research department established the following price-demand, cost, and revenue functions: p(x) = 60 1.20x Price- demand function Cost function C(x) = 210 + 12x R(x) = xp(x) = x(60 - 1.20x) where x is in thousands of widgets and C(x) and R(x) are in thousands of dollars. The price p(x) is the price in dollars of one widget when the demand is a thousand widgets. All three functions have domain 1 ≤ x ≤ 50. Revenue function

A television manufacturer sold three times as many televisions in 1995 as it did in 1985. To illustrate this fact, the manufacturer draws a pictogram as shown below. The television on the right is three times as tall and three times as wide as the television on the left. 000 1995 O ● 2005 This pictogram is misleading because it actually gives the visual impression that nine times as many televisions were sold in 2005 as in 1995. How can the manufacturer correctly illustrate the fact that sales in 2005 were three times sales in 1995? W= Answer: If the 1995 TV has width=w and height = h, then the width and height of the 2005 TV should be: 1 and 1.- H=
