Solve the problem.
-A publishing company estimates the revenue from the sale of a popular book by the rational function $R ( x ) = \frac { 950 x ^ { 2 } } { x ^ { 2 } + 4 }$ where $x$ is the number of years since publication and $R ( x )$ is the total revenue in millions of dollars. Find the total revenue at the end of the first year.
A) $\$ 230$ million
B) $\$ 150$ million
C) $250 million
D) $\$ 190$ million

To find the total revenue at the end of the first year, substitute $x = 1$ into the revenue function: $R(1) = \frac{950(1)^2}{1^2 + 4} = \frac{950}{5} = 190$. Therefore, the total revenue at the end of the first year is $\$190$ million.
