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

How can you determine which variable is dependent and which variable is independent
padilas [110]

MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  The dependent variable depends on another variable for its value. For example, if  y = 2x,  setting x = 1 forces y= 2.; setting x = 10, forces y =20.  There are no other possibilities for y once x ids chosen. So y is the dependent variable and x is the independent one. You can pick values for the independent variable (x) but no so for the dependent one.

is the degree of ( f+g)(x) equal to the degree of f(x) or g(x) , which ever has the highest degree ?​
Virty [35]

Answer:

for all x in the domain of f(x), or odd if, f(−x) = −x, for all x in the domain of f(x), or neither even nor odd if neither of the above are true statements. A kth degree polynomial, p(x), is said to have even degree if k is an even number and odd degree if k is an odd number

I need a little extra help with number three
diamong [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

f(x) = -2x² + 8x - 2

Process

                -2x² + 8x = y + 2

                -2(x² - 4x + 4) = y + 2 - 8

                -2(x - 2)² = y - 6

                    (x - 2)² = 1/2 (y - 6)

Vertex = (2, 6)

Axis of symmetry =   x = 2

y-intercept

                 f(0) = -2(0)² + 8(0) - 2

                 f(0) = 0 + 0 - 2

                 f(0) = -2

Domain    (-∞, ∞)

Range    (-∞, 6]

A parabola intersects the x-axis at x = 3 and x = 9.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

This function corresponds to 'even' function, then

in order to calculate the 'x' of the vertex: (3+9)/2=6.

American Vending (AV) supplies vended food to a large university. Because students often kick the machines out of anger and frus
aev [14]

Answer:

case 2 with two workers is the optimal decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1—One worker:A= 3/hour Poisson, ¡x =5/hour exponential The average number of machines in the system isL = - 3. = 4 = lJr machines' ix-A 5 - 3 2 2Downtime cost is $25 X 1.5 = $37.50 per hour; repair cost is $4.00 per hour; and total cost per hour for 1worker is $37.50 + $4.00

= $41.50.Downtime (1.5 X $25) = $37.50 Labor (1 worker X $4) = 4.00

$41.50

Case 2—Two workers: K = 3, pl= 7L= r= = 0.75 machine1 p. -A 7 - 3Downtime (0.75 X $25) = S J 8.75Labor (2 workers X S4.00) = 8.00S26.75Case III—Three workers:A= 3, p= 8L= ——r = 5- ^= § = 0.60 machinepi -A 8 - 3 5Downtime (0.60 X $25) = $15.00 Labor (3 workers X $4) = 12.00 $27.00

Comparing the costs for one, two, three workers, we see that case 2 with two workers is the optimal decision.
