R(c)=5000c-100c^2

R'(c)= 5000-200c

Where is R'(c) > 0 and where is R'(c) < 0

What should you charge per download if you want to maximize your total revenue, and how much total revenue will you generate?

Since the formula for R'(c)  =  5000 - 200c:

To find where R'(x) > 0:      5000 - 200c > 0     --->   -200c > -5000   --->   c < 25

To find where R'(c) < 0:      5000 - 200c < 0     --->   -200c < -5000   --->   c > 25

The maximum occurs where R'(c) = 0:     5000 - 200c = 0   --->   -200c = -5000   --->   c = 25

When  c = 25,  the revenue will be R(25)  =  5000(25) - 100(25)2  =  62,500
