HI can you help me with this problem?The quantity demanded x for a certain brand of MP3 players is 300 units when the unit price

p is set at $90. The quantity demanded is 1300 units when the unit price is $40. Find the demand equation

The demand equation is P = -0.05x + 105

STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

<em>The demand equation.</em>

The following information is used to solve the problem.

If (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are any dinstinct points on a line a non-vertical line L, then the equation of the line that has a slope(m) and passes through the point (x₁ , y₁) is given by the formula below:

y-y_1=_{}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Assume p, be the unit price and x be the demand when the price is $p.

From the question given, when the unit price x = 300 units, the demand p = $90 and when the unit price x = 1300 units, the demand p = $40

This means the demand curve passes through the points (300, 90) and (1300, 40).

Assume the demand equation is linear, then the line of the equation passes through the points (300, 90) and (1300, 40).

Now;

y=p x₁ =300 y₁ = 90 x₂ = 1300 y₂=40

Substitute the values into the function and simplify.

p-90=\frac{40-90}{1300-300}(x-300)

Simplify the above.

p-90=\frac{-50}{1000}(x-300)p-90=-0.05(x-300)

Open the parenthesis.

P- 90 = -0.05x + 15

Add 90 to both-side of the equation.

P = -0.05x + 15 + 90

P = -0.05x + 105

Hence, the demand function is P = -0.05x + 105

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 43 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

angle = Ф = 35°

length = 75 ft

height = ?

Process

To solve this problem, use trigonometric functions. The trigonometric function that relates the Opposite side (height) and the hypotenuse (length) is sine.

               sin Ф = Height / length

-Solve for height

                height = length x sin Ф

-Substitution

                height = 75 x sin 35

-Simplification

                height = 75 x 0.574

-Result

                 height = 43 ft

48. Reading Rates The reading speed of sixth-grade students is approximately normal, with a mean speed of 125 words per minute a
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile is 155.72 words per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 125, \sigma = 24

What is the reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 125}{24}

X - 125 = 1.28*24

X = 155.72

The reading speed of a sixth-grader whose reading speed is at the 90th percentile is 155.72 words per minute.
