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

Where are the asymptotes of f(x) = tan(4x − π) from x = 0 to x = pi over 2 ?
vladimir1956 [14]
tan(4x- \pi )= \frac{sin(4x- \pi )}{cos(4x- \pi )}

The asymptotes are where the graph is undefined. Since: tan(x) =sin(x)/cos(x)
It is where cos(4x-π) = 0

cos(4x-π) = 0 when the inside is -π/2 , π/2 , 3π/2

4x - π = π/2
4x = π/2 + π
4x = 3π/2
x = 3π/8

4x - π = 3π/2
4x = 3π/2 + π
4x = 5π/2
x = 5π/8
This ones outside the interval (5π/8 > π/2) , try -π/2

4x - π = -π/2
4x = -π/2 + π
4x = π/2
x = π/8

Asymptotes are π/8 and 3π/8

The length of a rectangle is (x+5) and the width is (x+2). The area of the rectangle is 70 square feet. What is the length of th
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the equation for area is length times width, you would have to set the two equations to seventy and multiply them.

<em>     (x+5) (x+2) = 70</em>

<em>     </em><em>2x + 10 = 70</em>

Then, you would have to subtract ten from both sides, cancelling it from the left side.

<em>     2x = 60</em>

<em />

Then do the opposite and divide sixty by two, therefore getting a length of thirty feet.

Click on the graph below to create a triangle with vertices at the following points.
KatRina [158]
Well, since you didn’t upload the picture we can’t really show you the points, but all you do, is for the first one you go 5 up on the graph, and 0 to the side. and then just keep going!
