Answer:

(a)20

(b)Elastic

(c)8

(d) Elastic

Step-by-step explanation:

Elasticity of demand(E) indicates the impact of a price change on a product's sales.

The general formula for an exponential demand curve is given as:

y=ae^{-bp}

Given the demand curve formula

q=f\left(p\right)=200e^{-0.4p}

The formula for Elasticity of demand, E

E = -\dfrac{p}{q}\dfrac{\text{d}q}{\text{d}p}

(a)When Price,  p = $50

p=50

q=200e^{-0.4*50}=200e^{-20}

\dfrac{\text{d}q}{\text{d}p}=-0.4*200e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4p}

Therefore:

E = -\dfrac{50}{200e^{-20}}*-80e^{-0.4*50}\\=\dfrac{1}{4e^{-20}}*80e^{-20}\\\\E=20

(b)At p = $50, Since elasticity is greater than 1, the demand is elastic.

An elasticity value of 20 means that a 1% increase in price causes a 20% decrease in demand.

(c)At p=$20

p=20

q=200e^{-0.4*20}=200e^{-8}

\dfrac{\text{d}q}{\text{d}p}=-0.4*200e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4p}

Therefore:

E = -\dfrac{20}{200e^{-8}}*-80e^{-0.4*20}\\=\dfrac{1}{10e^{-20}}*80e^{-20}\\\\E=8

(d)At p = $20, the demand is elastic.

An elasticity value of 8 means that a 1% increase in price causes a 8% decrease in demand.

Can someone answer this question and give an explanation
Temka [501]

Answer:

48cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can break down this shape into two different, easier to work with shapes, with dimensions of 4*9 and 6*2. You can get this by cutting the bigger rectangle into the 4*9, and then using the 6*2 left over.

After that, all you need to do it multiply and then add.

4*9 is 36, and 6*2 is 12.

36+12=48

Hope this helped!
