A group of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 144 if the price is $250. The wholesale

r is willing to supply 88 if the price is $225 and 168 if the price is $315. Assuming the resulting supply and demand functions are linear, find the equilibrium point for the market.

Answer:

The required equilibrium point is (356.538,58.769)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on your demand equation are : (300,104) and (250,144)

Take the number of televisions on y-axis and the price of the television on x-axis

Now, to find the demand equation for the given problem, find slope using the above two points :

\implies Slope=\frac{144-104}{250-300}\\\\\implies Slope = -\frac{4}{5}=-0.8

And the y - intercept is : y = -0.8x + b

Find the value of b using any point. Let us take (250,144)

144 = -0.8 × 250 + b

⇒ b = 144 + 200

⇒ b = 344

So, the y-intercept is : y = -0.8x + 344

The two points on your supply equation are : (225,88) and (315,68)

Take the number of televisions on y-axis and the price of the television on x-axis

Now, to find the supply equation for the given problem, find slope using the above two points :

\implies Slope=\frac{68-88}{315-225}\\\\\implies Slope = -\frac{2}{9}

And the y - intercept is :

y = -\frac{2}{9}x + b

Find the value of b using any point. Let us take (225,88)

88 = -\frac{2}{9}\times 225 + b\\\\\implies b = 88 + 50\\\\\implies b = 138

So, the y-intercept is :

y = -\frac{2}{9}x + 138

To find the equilibrium point, solve both the y-intercepts of the demand equation and the supply equation :

⇒ x = 356.538 and y = 58.769

Hence, the required equilibrium point is (356.538,58.769)

2(10 – 24x) + y2<br> What is X equals<br> What is Y equals <br> What is the answer
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

X= 5/12 + 1/24y  

Y= -10 + 29x

Step-by-step explanation:

2(10- 24x)+ 2y                          2(10- 24x)+ 2y

20 - 48x +2y                            20 - 48x +2y

48x =20 +2y                            -2y = 20- 48x

/48   /48  /48                           /-2    /-2    /-2

x= 5/12 + 1/24y                         y= -10 +29x

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The formula: e7 = (b7*d7)+(c7*d7*1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hours worked = b7

Hourly rate = d7

Overtime hours = c7

Salary calculation = e7

Salary = Hours worked*hourly rate + (overtime*hourly rate)*1.5

Formula

e7 = (b7*d7)+(c7*d7*1.5)

The formula e7 = (b7*d7)+(c7*d7*1.5)

Hope this will helpful to you.

Thank you.

A triangle has sides with lengths of 7 feet, 15 feet, and 17 feet. is it a right triangle?
aksik [14]
To test if this is a right triangle, let's test these side lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c is the hypotenuse, the longest side of a right triangle.
a and b are the legs of the right triangle.

a = 7
b = 15
c = 17

7^2 + 15^2 = 17^2 ?

49 + 225 = 289 ?

274 ≠ 289

Thus, this triangle is not a right triangle since it does not satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Have an awesome day! :)
