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:

1. -3/6 is negative, because it descends by 3 and goes over by 6.

2. My first answer literally gives the keyword negative, therefore it's a negative line because it has a <em>negative slope</em>.

1. -8/0 is undefined, because there is a rise but there is no run, which also means that it's a:

2. vertical line

1. -5/-10 simplifies to 5/10 or 1/2, which is positive because it rises by 5(or 1) and runs over by 10(or 2).

2. Thus, this means that it's a positive line since it has a <em>positive slope</em>.

1. 0/-2 is zero, because when you actually solve the equation it'll equal 0.

2. This means that it'll have a horizontal line since there is no rise but there is a run only.

The diagram shows a track composed with a semicircle on each end. The area of the rectangle is 8,400 square meters. What is the
MrRa [10]

Answer:

468.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the width of the rectangle.

The area of a rectangle is A=length*width. Substitute the values of length and area and solve for width.

A=length*width

8,400=140*width

60= width

Use the width of the rectangle to find the circumference of the semicircles. Since each semicircle is half of a​ circle, the perimeter of the two semicircles is equal to the circumference of one circle.

The circumference of a circle is equal to pi​d, where d is the diameter. The diameter of the semicircle is the same as  the width of the rectangle.

​So, the diameter is 60 meters. Substitute the diameter into the formula for the circumference and simplify using 3.14 for pi.

≈188.4

(2 times 140)+ 188.4

​So, the perimeter of the track is 468.4 meters.

I believe it's 12 because 5*16=80. So, then you would subtract 4 from 16 and gat 12.
