Web Site Profit You operate a gaming Web site, www .mudbeast.net, where users must pay a small fee to log on. When you charged $2 the demand was 280 log-ons per month. When you lowered the price to $1.50, the demand increased to 560 log-ons per month.

a. Construct a linear demand function for your Web site and hence obtain the monthly revenue R as a function of the log-on fee x.

b. Your Internet provider charges you a monthly fee of $30 to maintain your site.

What is the largest possible monthly profit? HINT [See Example 4.]
