A company makes greeting cards and their research shows that that price and demand are related linearly: p=mx +b.They know that

for every additional card they wish to sell they need to drop the price by $0.05. They also know that in order to sell 300 cards they need to set the price at $7. Find the linear equation relating P price to demand. Preview p =

Answer:

P= -0.05q+22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the linear equation that relates price with quantity demanded, first we must find the slope. Because the independent variable is the quantity demanded and the dependent variable is the price, the slope represents how the price changes when there is an extra unit of quantity demanded. The problem gives this information: "for every additional card (extra unit) they need to drop the price by $0.05". The slope (m) in this case is negative because an extra unit, reduces the price: -0.05

The second step is to use this formula:

Y-y1= m*(X-x1)

y1 and x1 is a point of the demand curve, in this case it is y1= $7 and x1=300

Y-$7= -$0.05*(X-300)

Y-7=-0.05X+15

Y= -0.05X+15+7

Y= -0.05X-22

Price= -0.05 quantity demanded +22

Solve the equatuon<br><br> x/2-(2/(x+1))=1<br><br> x=?
Snezhnost [94]

\frac{x}{2}-\frac{2}{x+1}=1

We have 2 denominators that we need to get rid of. Whenever there are the denominators, all we have to do is multiply all whole equation with the denominators.

Our denominators are both 2 and x+1. Therefore, we multiply the whole equation by 2(x+1)

\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]

Then shorten the fractions.

\frac{x}{2}[2(x+1)]-\frac{2}{x+1}[2(x+1)] = 1[2(x+1)]\\x(x+1)-2(2)=1(2x+2)

Distribute in all.

x^2+x-4=2x+2

We should get like this. Because the polynomial is 2-degree, I'd suggest you to move all terms to one place. Therefore, moving 2x+2 to another side and subtract.

x^2+x-4-2x-2=0\\x^2-x-6=0\\

We are almost there. All we have to do is, solving for x by factoring. (Although there are more than just factoring but factoring this polynomial is faster.)

(x-3)(x+2)=0\\x=3,-2

Thus, the answer is x = 3, -2
