Answer:

Demand is Elastic when Price > 200 ; Demand is inelastic when Price < 200

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 400 - 4x

4x = 400 - p

x = (400 - p) / 4 → x = 100 - p/4

Elasticity of demand  [ P ed ] = (Δx / Δp) x (p / x)

Δx / Δp  [Differentiating x w.r.t p]  = 0 - 1/4  → = -1/4

P ed =  <u>-1</u> x<u> p </u>

            4   (400 - p)/4

= <u>-1</u> x <u> 4p </u>              = -p / (400-p)

  4   (400 - p)

Price Elasticity of demand : only magnitude is considered, negative sign is ignored (due to negative price demand relationship as per law of demand).

So, Ped = p / (400 - p)

Demand is Elastic when P.ed > 1

p / (400-p)  > 1

p > 400 - p

p + p > 400  → 2p > 400

p > 400 / 2 →  p > 200

Demand is inelastic when P.ed < 1

p / (400-p)  < 1

p < 400 - p

p + p < 400  → 2p < 400

p < 400 / 2 →  p < 200

(NEED DONE SOON) The measure of two supplementary angles are 4x - 24 and 4(2x - 3). <br> What is x
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of supplementary angles added together MUST equal 180. Therefore, as you are given two angles with the measures of (4x - 24) and 4(2x - 3), they must add together to equal 180. So, we get this equation:

(4x - 24) + 4(2x - 3) = 180

4x - 24 + 8x - 12 = 180 (we distributed 4(2x-3))

12x - 36 = 180

12x = 144

x = 12, -12

Therefore, x is 12 because -12 would mean that (4x-24) and 4(2x-3) are both negative, which is impossible for an angle measure.

HELP PLEASE

Answer:

Carmen bought 5 pounds of coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of buying coffee is $8.44 per pound. Let us assume she bought x pound of coffee, this means that she spent $8.44x on coffee.

She went to the coffee store with $80 gift card and left with $37.80, this means that after spending $8.44x from the initial $80, she had $37.80. To find the number of pounds she bought, we are to use the following equation:

80 - 8.44x = 37.80

8.44x = 80 - 37.80

8.44x = 42.2

x = 42.2/ 8.44 = 5

x = 5 pounds.

The expression (7-4i)-(3-12i) simplified is
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

8i + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add/subtract like terms:

7 - 3

= 4

-4i - (-12i)

-4i + 12i

= 8i

Add these together:

8i + 4

So, the simplified expression is 8i + 4
