total revenue received from the sale of q, the number of wooden toys, can be given by R(q)=ln(1+1000q^2). Calculate the marginal revenue when q=100 toys

Question

I'm....confused

Answer 1

You don't say what level of math you are in, but usually the word "marginal" means the rate at which something is changing, which in calculus is found by taking the derivative.  

 

So I think this question is just asking you to find R'(100).  

 

If you are not taking a calculus-based class comment back, as there are ways to estimate the slope of a curve without actually taking the derivative.
