The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

likoan [24]

Answer:

A) 3%

B) Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: $y=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

$f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x$

The base (b) is 1.03. As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

$\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100$

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%$

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%$

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100
b = 1.01
n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

$\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}$

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

$\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100$

$\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201$

$\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01$

$\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04$

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.

The market equilibrium point for a product is reached when 12000 units are produced and sold at $27 per unit. The manufacturer w

mamaluj [8]

If the equilibrium is such that only 12000 units are sold for $27, then the total earnings from the given scenario is $324,000. The supply equation would then be,
supply: 324000 = 6p ; p = 324000/6 = 54000
demand: 324000 = 69p ; p = 324000/69 = 4695.65 ≈ 4696

Please take a look at the question. Please explain and type your explaination. Please make it quick as possible. Thankyou!

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Yes, it's true

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is a part of a whole number for example 1/2. 1/2 is a half of one whole piece and if you multiply it into any whole number whether it's 2,4,6,8,10...... basically, if you multiply a fraction less than one with a non-zero whole number, it will always be less than the whole number it's being cut into smaller pieces. However, if the fraction is greater than 1, we would technically have an answer greater than the whole number product, just something to remember.
