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.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 i s greater than -2.

Nope that aint true

-2 is greater than -5 is correct since -2 is closer to the postivie numbers and zero.

-5 is farther so it is less than -2.

What are the types of roots of the equation below?<br><br>x^4 - 81 = 0​
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

x^4 - 81 = 0  

(x² - 9)(x² + 9) = 0  

Notice that the first of these is itself a difference of two squares:  

(x - 3)(x + 3)(x² + 9) = 0  

So the solutions are x = 3, x = -3, x = 3i, x = -3i

Write an equation. Let x be the unknown number.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Unknown number, x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Forming the equation from the information provided above.  

9=2x+17

If we solve for the unknown number, we first collect like terms together.

2x=9-17

2x=-8

Divide both sides of the equal sign by 2 the coefficient of x

x=-4
