Photon Lighting Company determines that the supply and demand functions for its most popular lamp are as follows: S(p) = 400 - 4

p + 0.00002p4 and D(p) = 2800 - 0.0012p3, where p is the price. Determine the price for which the supply equals the demand.
A) $93.24
B) $100.24
C) $96.24
D) $99.24

Answer: The correct answer is (C).

Explanation:

Supply function:

$S(p)=400-4p+0.00002p^4$

Demand function:

$D(p)=2800-0.0012p^3$

S(p)=D(p), price for which supply is equal to demand:

$S(p)=D(p)=400-4p+0.00002p^4=2800-0.0012p^3$

After solving this above equation graphically, we will get the values of p.

1) p =96.236

2) p=( -118.258)

We will reject the negative value of p.

So, the value of p that price for which the supply equals the demand is $ 96.236 $\approx$ $96.24. Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

Price equals $96.24

Explanation:

It is given that,

The supply function is given by, $S(p)=400-4p+0.00002p^4$

The demand function is given by, $D(p)=2800-0.0012p^3$

We have to find the price for which the supply equals to the demand.

$S(p)=D(p)$

$400-4p+0.00002p^4=2800-0.0012p^3$

After solving above equation we get :

So, it is clear from the attached graph that p = 96.24 and q = -118.26

So, the correct option is (c) " $96.24 ".

Which of the following is not true about the sun

skelet666 [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

"The Sun's diameter is about five times that of Earth" is not true about the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Sun at the pivotal of the solar system is a star and covers 99.86% of the total mass of the system. Approximately 73% mass of the sun is due to hydrogen gas while nearly 25% mass due to helium and for the remaining mass small amount of heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, neon and iron are responsible.

The diameter of the sun is 864,000 miles or 1.39 million km or 109 times of the Earth while mass is 330,000 times of the Earth's mass. Sun is a almost perfect sphere of hot plasma with internal convective motion responsible for production of a magnetic field through a dynamo process. And the most important source of energy on Earth for life.

A 790N person runs up a flight of 40 stairs (.25m for each step) in 20 seconds, and then down 10 steps in 5 seconds. How much to

Romashka [77]

A person runs up 40 stairs and then come down 10 steps

So total stairs upwards is given as

$N = 40 - 10 = 30$

now here we will have total height reached

$H = N\times h$

$H = 30 \times 0.25 = 7.5 m$

Now total energy used or mechanical work done is

$W = mgH$

$W = 790 \times 7.5 = 5925 J$

Now the mechanical power is given as

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

$P = \frac{5925}{20+ 5} = 237 W$

An open-end mercury manometer is connected to a low-pressure pipeline that supplies a gas to a laboratory. Because paint was spi

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a

$P_G = 14.03 \ psig$

b

$h_m = 0.148 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of the manometer when there is no gas flow is $P_{m} = 15.5 \ psig = 15.5 * 6894.76 = 106868.78 \ N/m^2$

The level of mercury is $h = 950 \ mm = 0.950 \ m$

The drop in the mercury level at the visible arm is $d = 39.0 = 0.039 \ m$

Generally when there is no gas flow the pressure of the manometer is equal to the gauge pressure which is mathematically represented as

$P_g = P_m = g * \delta h * \rho$

Here $\rho$ is the density of mercury with value $\rho = 13.6 *10^{3} kg/m^3$

and $\delta h$ is the difference in the level of gas in arm one and two

So

$\delta h = \frac{106868.78}{ 13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 }$

$\delta h = 0.802 \ m$

Generally the height of the mercury at the arm connected to the pipe is mathematically represented as

$h_m = 0.950 - 0.802$

=> $h_m = 0.148 \ m$

Generally from manometry principle we have that

$P_G + \rho * g * d - \rho * g * [h - (h_m + d)] = 0$

Here $P_G$ is the pressure of the gas

$P_G +13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 * 0.039 - 13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 * [0.950 - (0.148 + 0.039)] = 0$

$P_G = 9.6724 04 *10^{4} \ N/m^2$

converting to psig

$P_G = \frac{ 9.6724 04 *10^{4} }{6894.76}$

$P_G = 14.03 \ psig$
