Answer:

Thus, the coffee shop is willing to supply 6 pounds per week at a price of $4 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The marginal price per pound (in dollars) is given by:

p'(x) = \displaystyle\frac{208}{(x+7)^2}

where x is the supply in pounds.

P(x) = \displaystyle\int p'(x)~dx =\displaystyle\int\displaystyle\frac{208}{(x+7)^2}~dx\\\\P(x) = \frac{-208}{(x+7)} + c\\\\\text{where c is the constant of integration.}

The coffee shop is willing to supply 9 pounds per week at a price of $7 per pound.

Thus, we are given that

P(9) = 7

Putting the values, we get,

P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{-208}{(x+7)} + c\\\\P(9) = 7\\\\\displaystyle\frac{-208}{(9+7)} + c = 7\\\\c = 7 + \frac{208}{16} = 20

P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{-208}{(x+7)} + 20

Now, we have to find how many pounds it would be willing to supply at a price of $4 per pound.

P(x) = 4

P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{-208}{(x+7)} + 20 = 4\\\\\frac{-208}{x+7} = -16\\\\x + 7 = 13\\x = 6

Thus, the coffee shop is willing to supply 6 pounds per week at a price of $4 per pound.

John wants to buy a new bike that cost 337 and he already has saved 103. Estimate to find about how much more John needs to save
Ede4ka [16]
We can round numbers to estimate.

337 is approximately 340.
103 is approximately 100.

340 - 100 = 240

John needs to save around $240 more in order to be able to afford the bike.

Hope this helps!
