Answer:

X=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

X+(-4)=-12

So we will have to open the bracket first

X-4=-12

Add 4 to both side

X=-12+4

X=-8

So the answer for x is going to be -8

Answer:

$x = -8$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Add 4 to both sides </u>

$x + (-4) = -12$

$x - 4 + 4 = -12 + 4$

$x = -8$

Answer: $x = -8$

A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x, where q is the q

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

See expla below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the demand function:

q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x

a) Find the elasticity:

Find the derivative of the demand function.

D'(x)= -17

Thus, elasticity expression is:

$\frac{x D'(x)}{D'(x)}$

$= \frac{x (-17)}{943 - 17x}$

$= \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Elasticity expression = $E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

b) At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1?

This means E(x) = 1

Substitute 1 for E(x) in the elasticity equation:

$E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

$1 = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Cross multiply:

$943 - 17x = 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x = 943$

$34x = 943$

$x = \frac{943}{34}$

x = 27.74

Elasticity at the price of demand = 1 is 27.74

c) At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic?

This means E(x) > 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} > 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x > 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x > 943$

$34x > 943$

$x > \frac{943}{34}$

x > 27.74

The elasticity of demand is elastic at x > 27.74

d) At what prices is the elasticity of demand inelastic?

This means E(x) < 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} < 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x < 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x < 943$

$34x < 943$

$x < \frac{943}{34}$

x < 27.74

The elasticity of demand is inelastic at x < 27.74

e) At what price is the revenue a maximum:

Total revenue will be:

R(x) = x D(x)

= x (943 - 17x)

= 943x - 17x²

R(x) = 934 - 17x(price that maximizes total revenue)

Take R(x) = 0

Thus,

0 = 943 - 17x

17x = 943x

$x = \frac{943}{17}$

$x = 27.74$

Total revenue is maximun at x= 27.74 per cookie

f) At x = 21 per cookie, find the price:

Thus,

R (21) = (943 * 21) - (17 * 21²)

= 19803 - 7497

= 12306

At x = 27.74, find the price:

R(27.74) = (943 * 27.74) - (17 - 27.74²)

= 26158.82 - 13081.63

= 13077.19

We can see the new price of cookie causes the total revenue to decrease.

Therefore, with a small increase in price the total revenue will decrease.

Butter pecan: 25
Vanilla: 35
Chocolate: 50

The dotted line between 20 and 30 (butter pecan) will be nothing more than anything including 5. In this case, it is 25 counting up to 30.
The solid lines directly leading to a number will be that number, for instance, chocolate is 50.
