Solve the problem.Economists use what is called a Leffer curve to predict the government revenue for tax rates from 0% to 100%. Economists agree that the end points of the curve generate 0 revenue, but disagree on the tax rate that produces the maximum revenue. Suppose an economist produces this rational function  where R is revenue in millions at a tax rate of x percent. Use a graphing calculator to graph the function. What tax rate produces the maximum revenue? What is the maximum revenue?
