How many sandwiches do you think would be supplied by this market if the price were $3.50?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer: 675</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Start at $3.50 on the vertical y axis. Draw a horizontal line until you reach the supply curve. Then drop straight down to land somewhere between 650 and 700 units supplied per day. Check out the diagram below.
A good estimate may be to use the midpoint. Add up those values and divide in half.
(650+700)/2 = 1350/2 = 675
Therefore, we estimate that 675 sandwiches per day would be supplied if the price was $3.50 per sandwich.

Since the surface is the top part of a sphere centred on the origin, the directions of steepest descent are any vector originating from the origin (0,0).
At (5,5), the direction would be dictated by the line joining (5,5) and the origin (0,0), i.e. along <5,5> or equivalently along <1,1>.
You can also go through vector calculus to arrive at the same result.
