According to one economic model, the demand for gasoline is a linear function of price. If the price of gasoline is p # $3.10 pe

r gallon, the quantity demanded in a fixed period of time is q - 65 gallons. If the price is $3.50 per gallon, the quantity of gasoline demanded is 45 gallons for that period.
a) Find a formula for q (demand) in terms of p (price).




b) According to this model, at what price is the gas so expensive that there is no demand.

Your first line calculation is already true but reversed. The demand will decrease (that mean the formula would be minus) by 20 gallons for every $0.4 price increase, which means 50 gallons/$. To find the formula you need to insert one sample of either the first equation (65gallon and $3.1) or 2nd equation (45 gallons and $3.5). The formula for demand should be:

q= C - 50p
65 gallon= C- 3.1 * 50 
C= 65 gallon + 155 gallon= 220 gallon

The formula would be:
q= 220- 50p

So the second question can be solved by putting 0 on the Q. It would be:
q= 220- 50p
0=220-50p
50p=220
p= $4.4

A square with side length 4 cm represents 20% of a larger figure what is the area of the larger figure?
victus00 [196]
First we are going to find divided by 100 and multiply 20 is equal to four.

We are gonna use x to represent this number.

x/100 * 20 = 4

Solve for x

Therefore x = 20cm

Now that we found x the side of the larger square we are gonna find the area which is side^2.

20 * 20

Therefore the area of the larger square is 400cm^2

Systems of the Body Constructed Response
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

note: there may be other possible explanations and more body systems can be involved and I can go into much greater detail

1: Nervous system signals your muscles in mouth to abduct and adduct as well as your salivary glands to produce saliva to break down the food, as well as prepare the stomach to digest the food

2: Muscular system moves muscles in mouth to break food down into smaller pieces so there is greater surface area for digestive enzymes to work on the food, then muscles in oesophagus move food to stomach, where stomach muscles churn the broken down food around to speed up digestion

3: Digestive system releases numerous digestive enzymes into the food to break down lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. Small intestines absorb nutrients into bloodstream, and large intestine absorbs water.

4: Excretory system removes excess mostly dry waste through the anus as well as urine from ureter.

Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y=2sinx
Mrrafil [7]
 Hello
f(x) = 2sin(x)
f(<span>π/6) = 1 
f'(x) 2cos(x)
f'(</span>π/6) = 2×co(π/6) = 2 × root(3)×0.5  =root(3)
The equation of this tangent line is : y= root(3)(x-π/6)+1
y = root(3)x+1 - π/6(root(x))  <span>in the form y=mx+b
m = root(3)   and   b = </span>1 - π/6(root(x))
