A 20% increase in price led the quantity supplied of pencils in a competitive market to increase from 380.00 to 410.00. What is

the price elasticity of supply for pencils?
Mathematics

Aleks04 [339]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  about 0.39 (inelastic)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elasticity of supply is the ratio of percentage supply change to a corresponding percentage of price change. Here, that is ...

  eos = (410/380 -1)/(0.20) = 0.78947/0.2 ≈ 0.3947

Values below 1 are said to correspond to an <em>inelastic</em> supply, one not very sensitive to price.

The Apollo's chariot, a rollercoaster at Busch gardens, moves at 110 feet per second. The equation of the ride can be represente
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

169.39 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the Apollo's chariot, a roller coaster at Busch gardens, moves at 110 feet per second. The equation of the ride can be represented by the equation h(t)=-16t^2+101t+10. We are asked to find the maximum height that the ride can reach.

To  find the maximum height that the ride can reach, we need to find y-coordinate of vertex of parabola because our given equation is downward opening parabola and its maximum point will be the vertex.

First of all, we will find x-coordinate of vertex using formula \frac{-b}{2a}.

\frac{-101}{2(-16)}=\frac{101}{32}=3.15625

Now, we will substitute t=3.15625 in our equation to find y-coordinate of vertex as:

h(3.15625)=-16(3.15625)^2+101(3.15625)+10

h(3.15625)=-16(9.9619140625)+101(3.15625)+10

h(3.15625)=-159.390625+318.78125+10

h(3.15625)=169.390625

h(3.15625)\approx 169.39

Therefore, the ride will reach to a maximum height of 169.39 feet.169.39 feet.

He design on Santana's wall includes 16 pink stripes and 20 green stripes. Find the pink stripes to green stripes?
bija089 [108]
Well the ratio is 16:20 which it 16/20. We can simplify that to 4/5. Therefore the ratio from pink stripes to green stripes will be 4:5

Determine dois números ímpares consecutivo cujo produto seja 195
miv72 [106K]
Let 1st integer  = xLet 2nd integer = x + 1 We set up an equation. x(x + 1) = 195 x2 + x = 195 x2 + x - 195 = 0

We will use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac) / (2a) x = (-1 ± √(1 - 4(-195))) / 2 x = (-1 ± √(781)) / 2 x = (-1 ± 27.95) / 2 x = 13.48x = -14.78 
<span>We determine which value of x when substituted gives us a product of 195.</span> 13.48(14.48) = 195.19-14.48(-13.48) = 195.19 <span>The solution is 2 sets of two consecutive number</span> <span>Set 1</span> The 1st consecutive integer is 13.48The 2nd consecutive integer is 14.48 
<span>Set 2</span> The 1st consecutive integer is -14.48The 2nd consecutive integer is -13.48Hopefully this helped, hard work lol :)

The chef at a steakhouse has 350 pounds of sirloin steak on hand for Saturday night. If each portion is 10 ounces, how many sirl
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

560 dinners

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the amount of ounces by multiplying 350 pounds by 16 since every one pound is 16 ounces. 350×16=5600. That means there are 5600 ounces of meat. Therefore, to find the amount of steaks that can be served, divide 5600 divided by 10. 5600÷10=560.
