Answer: (B) The price elasticity of demand for good Z = 0.86
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining elasticity of demand by using the midpoint method is
(Q2 - Q1)/[(Q2 + Q1)/2] / (P2 - P1)/[(P2 + P1)/2]
Where
P1 is the initial price of the item.
P2 is the final price of the item.
Q1 is the initial quantity demanded for the item.
Q2 is the final quantity demanded for the item.
From the information given,
P1 = 10
P2 = 15
Q1 = 85
Q2 = 60
The price elasticity of demand for good Z = (60 - 85)/[(60 + 85)/2] / (15 - 10)/[(15 + 10)/2]
= (-25/72.5) / (5/12.5) = -25/72.5 × 12.5/5
= - 312.5/362.5 = - 0.86
Amy runs 1 mile in 7.6 minutes so in 57 minutes she will have run 7.5 miles
well it would be 18/9 and that would simplify to 2 because if u divide both by 9 u get 2/1 which is 2
Answer:
(-6,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3x − 2 = x + 2 is obtained by equating the following two functions:
y = (⅓)x - 2
y = x + 2
Graph:
Draw two straight lines
1) joining (0,-2) and (6,0)
2) joining (0,2) and (-2,0)
On the graph, you'll see that the above two lines intersect at: (-6,4)
Hence the solution is (-6,4)
Answer:
28. 120 degrees
29. 30 degrees
30. 56 degrees & 124 degrees
31. 72 degrees, 108 degrees, and 18 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
We assign variable x for the answer we are looking for (28-29).
28.
Supplement means x + y = 180 degrees. We also know x = 2y. Substitution gives us 3y = 180 degrees, so y = 60 degrees and x = 120 degrees.
29.
Complement means x + y = 90 degrees. We are given 2x = y. Substitution brings us 3x = 90 degrees, x = 30 degrees.
30.
Supplement means x + y = 180 degrees. We are told that y = 2x + 12, so we substitute. This gives 3x + 12 = 180 degrees, x = 56 degrees. Substituting that back into the equation for y, we get 124 degrees.
31.
Supplement means x + y = 180 degrees. Complement means x + z = 90 degrees. Using our given info, we know y = 6z. We can substitute that in to get x + 6z = 180. Subtracting our second and third equations, we get 5z = 90, z = 18 degrees. Therefore, x = 72 degrees, y = 108 degrees.
