Please see below.

Explanation:

The revenue is a quadratic function. Its graph is a parabola.

Parabolas/quadratics have maximum or minimum at the vertex.

#R(x) = (30)(4000)-3000x+4000x-100x^2#

# = 1200000+1000x-100x^2#

Now use whatever method you've learned to find the #x# value of the vertex.

The vertex formula #x=-b/2a# gives us

#x = -1000/(2(-100)) = 1000/200=10/2=5#

So we should change the price from the base of #$30# by adding #$5#

The price should be #$35#
