SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating revenue from the sale of 100 products using the marginal revenue function MR(x) = 2x + 3. It is established that marginal revenue is the derivative of the revenue function. To find the total revenue, one must compute the integral of the marginal revenue function from 0 to 100, which provides the revenue generated from selling 100 products.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of marginal revenue and its relationship to revenue functions
  • Knowledge of calculus, specifically integration and differentiation
  • Familiarity with the concept of continuous functions in mathematics
  • Basic skills in applying mathematical concepts to economic scenarios
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the process of integrating functions in calculus
  • Learn about the relationship between marginal cost and marginal revenue
  • Explore the application of derivatives in economic models
  • Investigate continuous revenue functions and their properties
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in economics, mathematics, and business administration who are looking to deepen their understanding of revenue calculations and the application of calculus in economic contexts.

The marginal revenue function at output x is
MR (x) = 2x + 3.
Calculate revenue from the sale of 100 products.Can't find a way to complete this task, is it somehow connected with derivatives?

You'll have to do better than that. "Marginal" sounds like it might BE the derivative, no?
 
Yes, if I remember correctly (I once had the "pleasure" of teaching a "Math for economics and Business Administration" class) the "marginal revenue" is the derivative of a continuous revenue function ("first difference" if it is defined only for integers). So given that the marginal revenue is 2x+ 3 the revenue from the sale of 100 products is the integral of 2x+ 3 with respect to x from 0 to 100.
