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

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
For a system of equations to have infinitely many solutions it must describe identical lines.
If you multiply the first equation by 2, then move the x term to the left side, you would get 2y-4x=-10
Final Answer:
-10
