An online shopping club has 13,500 members when it charges $8 per month for membership. For each $1 monthly increase in membership fee, the club loses approximately 500 of its existing members

Respuesta :

Answer:

The function to represent the revenue received  by the club is [tex]R(x) =(13500-500x) \times (8+x)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total members in the Online shopping Club = 13,500

Membership Charge per month =  $8

Increase in the Membership  charge per month = $1

For each $1 monthly increase in membership fee, the club loses approximately  = 500 members

To Find :

The function to represent the revenue received  by the club when x is the price increase

Solution:

For Each month $1 increased is every month which leads to decrease in the members by 500

For 1 month , one dollar  the decrease  is [tex]500 \times 1[/tex]

for 2 month , 2 dollar increase will lead to decrease of [tex]500 \times 2[/tex] = 1000  members

So for x months

The decrease in the members  = [tex]500 \times x[/tex]= 500x

Also the increase in the membership fee will be 8 + x

Now

[tex]\text{Monthly revenue} = \text{Number of Members} \times \text{Monthly fee}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Monthly revenue} =(13500-500x) \times (8+x)[/tex]

[tex]R(x)= (13500-500x) \times (8+x)[/tex]

Answer:-500x^2+11,000x+120,000
