4.4 Applications of Optimization to Marginal
... According to the graph, marginal revenue equals marginal cost at the values q = q1 and q = q2 . So maximum profit occurs either at q1 , q2 or at the endpoints. Notice that the production levels q1 and q2 correspond to the two points where the tangent line to C is parallel to the tangent line to R. N ...
