Calculus demand function

The marginal revenue for x items in dollars is given by R’(x)=-4x+8. Determine the (a) revenue function and (b) the demand function.


For a I did ∫(-4x+8)dx=-2x^2+8x

But for b I don't know how to do please help.

The function for revenue is as you found by integrating the marginal revenue function R'(x). The revenue function is defined as the product of the number of units x times the demand function p(x). In the revenue function - 2x^2 +8x this can be written as x(8- 2x) where x is units and 8-2x is the demand function.
