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

cupoosta [38]
This means that we will plug 3 into our x values.

Our rule is 5x.

This means that:
5(3)

This means our final answer will be 15.

The sum of 2 times a number and 8 is 7
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

<h3>Answer:   addition property of inequality</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

These are the steps to focus on

step 3: -6x - 8 < -2

step 4: -6x < 6

The move from the third step to the fourth step has us adding 8 to both sides. Therefore, we use the addition property of inequality.

That property has four forms

  1. If a > b then a + c > b+c
  2. If a < b then a+c < b+c
  3. If a \ge b then a + c \ge b+c
  4. If a \le b then a+c \le b+c

It's similar to the idea of starting with a = b, then adding c to both sides to get a+c = b+c

We add the same thing to both sides to keep things balanced.
