Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find two numbers that add to make the coefficient of x (in this case, -5) and that multiply to make the constant term multiplied by the coefficient of x^2 (in this case, -2 x 3 = -6)
Two numbers that work are -6 and +1
-6 x +1 = -6
-6 + -1 = -5
2. Split the middle term into the two numbers that you found.
3x^2 -6x +x -2 = 0
I've put the -6 on the left side because in our next step, when we factorise, it will be easier than having the numbers the other way around.
3. Factorise the left side by taking out common factors from each pair. The pairs I'm talking about here are '3x^2 and -6x', and 'x and -2'
3x (x-2) +1 (x-2) = 0
4. You now have two numbers both being multiplied by the term x-2. We can rearrange this equation to give us two brackets being multiplied by each other.
(3x + 1) (x-2) = 0
5. According to the Null Factor Law, if two terms are multiplied together and the result is 0, then one of those terms must be 0. Make both terms equal to 0 and solve each for x.
3x + 1 = 0 x-2 = 0
3x = -1 x = 2
x = -1/3
6. The solutions to this equation are x = 2 and x = -1/3
Answer:
a. 24
b. 864
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The demand function is:
P = 60 - 2Q
When P = 12:
12 = 60 - 2Q
2Q = 60 - 12
2Q = 48
Q = 48/2 = 24
b. Consumer surplus is given as the integral of Demand function:
![CS = \int\limits {[P(Q) - (p)(Q)] \ dQ\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CS%20%3D%20%5Cint%5Climits%20%7B%5BP%28Q%29%20-%20%28p%29%28Q%29%5D%20%5C%20dQ%5C%5C)
This implies that:
Answer:
Price demand function
Step-by-step explanation:
The price demand function is the function in which there is a relationship between the demand and the price of the product
The Price demand function is
hence, the price demand function represents that there is a relationship that lies between the demand and the price
Answer:
209.005 gms
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the weights of packets of cookies produced by a certain manufacturer have a Normal distribution with a mean of 202 grams and a standard deviation of 3 grams.
Let X be the weight of packets of cookies produced by manufacturer
X is N(202, 3) gms.
To find the weight that should be stamped on the packet so that only 1% of the packets are underweight
i.e. P(X<c) <0.01
From std normal table we find that z value = 2.335
Corresponding x value = 202+3(2.335)
=209.005 gms.
