R = 238.39x - 0.5x^2
x = 154
154^2 = 154 * 154 = 23716
R = 238.39(154) - -0.5(154)^2
R = 36,712.06 - 0.5(23716)
R = 36,712.06 - 11,858.00
R = ?
Total revenue is the total amount of money taken in by a busniss. An appliance firm determines that when it sells x washings machines, the total revenue R in dollars is given by the polynomial R= 238.39x-0.5x^2. What is the total revenue from the salse of 154 washing machines?
I now you multiply 238.39x 154 to get 36712.06, but my question is: do you also multiply 0.5^2 (times) 154? and If so, how do you perform that operation. I don't know what to do next with these numbers, 0.5^2. Please help. Thank you.
