A common equation used in business is a demand equation. It expresses the relationship between the unit price of some commodity

and the quantity demanded. In the​ equation, p represents the unit price and x represents the quantity demanded in thousands. A company sells desk lamps and has found that the demand equation for a certain style of desk lamp is given by the equation p equals negative x squared plus 23. Find the demand for the desk lamp if the price is ​$7 per lamp.

Answer:

The demand of the desk is 4000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we know that p is equals negative x squared plus 23, that can be written as:

p=-x^{2} +23

Where p is the unit price and x represent the quantity demanded in thousands. Replacing p by 7 and solving for x, we get:

7=-x^{2} +23\\x^{2} =23-7\\x^{2} =16\\x=\sqrt{16\\} \\x=4

Since x is given in thousands of units, if the price is $7, the demand of the desk is 4000 units.

Which of the following best describes the squaring property of equality?
Brilliant_brown [7]
The squaring property of equality simply states that if two values are equal, then the squares of both of the values will also be equal. For example,
if A = B, then
A² = B² is also true.

What are the coordinates of the orthocenter of △XYZ with vertices at X(−3, 3) , Y(1, 3) , and Z(−3, 0) ?
klemol [59]
<span>Orthocenter is at (-3,3) The orthocenter of a triangle is the intersection of the three heights of the triangle (a line passing through a vertex of the triangle that's perpendicular to the opposite side from the vertex. Those 3 lines should intersect at the same point and that point may be either inside or outside of the triangle. So, let's calculate the 3 lines (we could get by with just 2 of them, but the 3rd line acts as a nice cross check to make certain we didn't do any mistakes.) Slope XY = (3 - 3)/(-3 - 1) = 0/-4 = 0 Ick. XY is a completely horizontal line and it's perpendicular will be a complete vertical line with a slope of infinity. But that's enough to tell us that the orthocenter will have the same x-coordinate value as vertex Z which is -3. Slope XZ = (3 - 0)/(-3 - (-3)) = 3/0 Another ick. This slope is completely vertical. So the perpendicular will be complete horizontal with a slope of 0 and will have the same y-coordinate value as vertex Y which is 3. So the orthocenter is at (-3,3).</span>

What is the exact solution to the equation 2^2x=5^x−1 ?
Ann [662]

2^2x=5^x−1

Take the log pf both sides:

ln(2^2x) = ln(5^x-1)

Expand the logs by pulling the exponents out:

2xln(2) = (x-1)ln(5)

Simpligy the right side:

2xln(2) = ln(5)x - ln(5)

Now solve for x:

Subtract ln(5)x from both sides:

2xln(2) - ln(5)x = -ln(5)

Factor x out of 2xln(2)-ln(5)x

x(2ln(2) - ln(5)) = -ln(5)

Divide both sides by (2ln(2) - ln(5))

X = - ln(5) / (2ln(2) - ln(5))
