Given :

When price is $2 dollars he sells 2400 units .

When price is $8 dollars he sells 600 units .

To Find :

If x represents the price of trucks and y the number of items sold, write an equation for the demand curve.

Solution :

Two points are given :

(x_1,y_1)=(2,2400)

(x_2,y_2)=(8,600)

Now , slope is given by :

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m=\dfrac{2400-600}{2-8}\\\\m=\dfrac{-1800}{6}\\\\m=-300

Now , the equation of line containing these two points and slope -300 is :

(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-600=-300(x-8)\\\\y=-300x+2400+600\\\\y=-300x+3000

Therefore , equation for the demand curve is y = -300x +3000 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  x + 6 I x³ + 2x²  - 10x + 84   I   x² - 4x + 14

              x³ + 6x²

            <u> -     -       </u>

                     -4x² - 10x

                    -4x²  - 24x

                    <u> +       +     </u>

                               14x + 84

                                14x + 84

                               <u> -      -       </u>

                                     0

P(x)  =(x +6)* ( x² - 4x + 14) + 0

Michael’s weight can be represented by the expression 72x^5. Al’s weight can be represented by the expression 9x^7.
podryga [215]

Answer:

a) \frac{72x^5}{9x^7}

b) =\frac{8}{x^2}

c), Yes;8x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael's Weight: 72x^5

Al's weight: 9x^7

a) Ratio of Michael's weight to Al's weight: \frac{72x^5}{9x^7}

b) This ratio simplifies to:  \frac{8\times 9x^5}{9x^5\timesx^2}

                                         =\frac{8}{x^2}

c) Yes, If the exponent in each expression were negative, then we have:

Ratio of Michael's weight to Al's weight: \frac{72x^{-5}}{9x^{-7}}

This ratio simplifies to:  8x^{-5--7}=8x^2

The two ratios are not the same.
