Answer:

The equilibrium quanity and equilibrium price is 3 Thousand units and 32 dollars respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Market equilibrium occurs in those markets in which the quantity demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by firms. In this state, the equilibrium point has its corresponding equilibrium quantity and price. That is, the equilibrium point is that point where, for a given price, the quantity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded.

The supply and demand curves represent the quantities that consumers are willing to buy and producers are willing to sell at that price respectively.

Being:

  • demand equation: 6x+p-50=0 ⇒ 6x= 50 - p ⇒ x=\frac{50 - p}{6}
  • the supply equation 6x-p+14=0 ⇒ 6x= p - 14 ⇒ x=\frac{p-14}{6}

Since when the market reaches equilibrium, the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied and x representing the quantity demanded in units of thousand, then:

\frac{50 - p}{6}=\frac{p-14}{6}

Solving, you get:

6*\frac{50 - p}{6}=p-14

50 - p= p -14

50 - p +14 = p

50 +14= p + p

64= 2*p

p=\frac{64}{2}

P=32 dollars

This value is the equilibrium price. Replacing this value in the demand and supply equation, the equilibrium quantity is obtained, which should be the same for both cases:

  • demand equation:  x=\frac{50 - 32}{6} ⇒ x= 3 Thousand units
  • the supply equation  x=\frac{32-14}{6} ⇒ x=3 Thousand units

So, <u><em>the equilibrium quanity and equilibrium price is 3 Thousand units and 32 dollars respectively.</em></u>

In its graphical representation, the equilibrium point can be seen as that point where the supply and demand curves intersect. You can see this in the attached image, where the blue line represents the supply and the red line the demand.

A tank has capacity 6 L and initially contains 11 mg of salt dissolved in 3 L of water. A solution containing 1 mg/L of salt ent
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The maximum capacity of he tank is 6 L and initially it contains 11 mg of salt dissolved in 3 L of water. Solution enters the tank at a rate of 3 L/hr, therefore in x hours, the amount of water that have entered the tank = 3x.

Solution also leaves the tank at a rate of 2L/hr, therefore in x hours, the amount of water that have left the tank = 2x

Hence the amount of water present in the tank at x hours is given as:

3 + 3x - 2x = 3 + x

The time taken to full the tank can be gotten from:

3 + x = 6

x = 6 - 3

x = 3 hr

b)

\frac{dQ}{dx}=3-\frac{2Q}{3+x}\\  \\\frac{dQ}{dx}+\frac{2Q}{3+x}=3\\\\let\ u'=\frac{2u}{3+x}\\\\\frac{u'}{u}=\frac{2Q}{3+x}\\\\ln(u)=2ln(3+x)\\\\u=(3+x)^2\\\\(3+x)^2Q]'=3(3+x)^2\\\\(3+x)^2Q=(3+x)^3+c\\\\Q(0)=11\\\\(3+0)^2(11)=(3+0)^3+c\\\\x=72\\\\Q=x+3+\frac{72}{(x+3)^2}\\ \\Q(3)=3+3+\frac{72}{(3+3)^2}=8\ mg

8 mg/ 6 L = 4/3 mg/L

- | 1 - 5a | = 29<br> i need help and an explain on how to do it.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Well your using absolute value and everything in absolute value is positive so you get rid of the negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you distribute the negative into the absolute value equation . And it leaves you with

|-1+5a|=29 now you can solve

your subtract your -1 from both sides bc you are solving for a

that gives you

5a=30 then you divide 5 divided by 30 is what 6 so that’s your answer

a=6
