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.

Answer if u love cats & dogs

Answer:

<em>(7, 5.25)</em> lies on the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values

x = 4,   6,  8, 12 and corresponding y values are:

y = 3, 4.5, 6, 9

Let us consider two points (4, 6) and (6, 4.5) and try to find out the equation of line.

Equation of a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given as:

y=mx+c

where m is the slope.

(x,y) are the coordinates from where the line passes.

c is the y intercept.

Here,

x_{1} = 4\\x_{2} = 6\\y_{1} = 3\\y_{2} = 4.5

Formula for slope is:

m = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m = \dfrac{4.5-3}{6-4}\\\Rightarrow m = \dfrac{1.5}{2}\\\Rightarrow m = \dfrac{3}{4}

Now, the equation of line becomes:

y=\dfrac{3}{4}x+c

Putting the point (4,3) in the above equation to find <em>c</em>:

3=\dfrac{3}{4}\times 4+c\\\Rightarrow 3=3+c\\\Rightarrow c =0

So, final equation of given function is:

y=\dfrac{3}{4}x

OR

4y=3x

As per the given options, the point <em>(7, 5.25) </em>satisfies the equation.

So correct answer is (7, 5.25).

Which property is illustrated by the following statement? If ZXY= FDE, and FDE= CAB, then ZXY=CAB
blagie [28]

Answer:

Transitive property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of transitivity, a relation R is said to be transitive if (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R, then (a, c) ∈ R.

If p = q, q = r then p = r.

Here, we have given that if ZXY = FDE and FDE = CAB, then, ZXY = CAB.

Therefore, it shows the transitive property of equality.

The difference of two numbers is 685. The smaller of the numbers is 262. What is the other number?
jeyben [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let </em><em>the </em><em>two </em><em>numbers </em><em>be </em><em>x </em><em>and </em><em>y </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em>

<em>Let </em><em>the </em><em>smaller </em><em>number </em><em>be </em><em>y </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>2</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>4</em><em>7</em>
