The problem with your code is that the placement of ReplaceAll is incorrect. It's replacing the "q" inside r[q] before it evaluates r[q]. Here's one way to do it: In[63]:= r[q_] := 1800*q - 0.006*q^2 c[q_] := 12100000 + 800*q + 0.004*q^2 In[65]:= qa = First[Solve[D[r[q] - c[q], q] == 0, q]] Out[65]= {q -> 50000.} In[66]:= r[a] Out[66]= 1800*a - 0.006*a^2 In[67]:= r[q /. qa] Out[67]= 7.5*^7 > > - = - > Vasos-Peter John Panagiotopoulos II, Columbia'81+, Bio$trategist > BachMozart ReaganQuayle EvrytanoKastorian > http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm > ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
