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)

The figure is made up of a cylinder and a sphere which has been cut in half. The radius of each half sphere is 5 mm. What is
alexgriva [62]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Rounded to the nearest hundredth the volume of the composite figure is:</em>

<em>1308 33 cubic millimeters</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! I wrote the complete question in a comment above. The volume of a cylinder is defined as:

V_{c}=\pi r^2 h \\ \\ r:radius \\ \\ h:height

While the volume of half a sphere is:

V_{hs}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

Since we have 2 half spheres, then the volume of these is the same as the volume of a sphere:

V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Then, the composite figure is:

V=\pi r^2 h +\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ V=\pi r^2(h+\frac{4}{3}r)

The radius of the cylinder is the same of the radius of each half sphere. So:

r=5mm \\ \\ h=10mm \\ \\ \\ V=(3.14) (5)^2((10)+\frac{4}{3}(5)) \\ \\ V=25(3.14)(10+\frac{20}{3}) \\ \\ \boxed{V\approx 1308.33mm^3}

M is the midpoint of AB.<br> AM = = 4x - 8<br> MB =<br> 5x-3/3<br> Find x and AB
marusya05 [52]
X=-7 AB=-72

steps

since m is a midpoint, AM and MB are congruent so you set the two equations equal to each other, 4x-9=5x-3/3( is this a typo? bc 3/3 is 1)
subtract 4x from both sides m, -8=x-1
add 1 to both sides
x=-7

then plug -7 in for x 4(-7)-8=-36
since the two segments are congruent u do -36 x 2= -72
