Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 2x + 7

f(-3) is x = -3

Step 2: Evaluate

Substitute: f(-3) = 2(-3) + 7
Multiply: f(-3) = -6 + 7
Add: f(-3) = 1

Using the midpoint method (show your work), calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price of a barrel of gosum berries

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P₁ = $10, P₂ = $20

From the tables Q₁ = 900, Q₂ = 800

Using midpoint method:

Percentage change in quantity = $\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{(Q_1+Q_2)/2} *100\%=\frac{800-900}{(900+800)/2}*100\%= -11.76\%\\$

Percentage change in price =

$\frac{P_2-P_1}{(P_1+P_2)/2} *100\%=\frac{20-10}{(20+10)/2}*100\%= 66.67\%\\$

Price of elastic demand = Percentage change in quantity/ Percentage change in price = -11.76% / 66.67% = 0.18

The Price of elastic demand is positive because we took the absolute value and elasticity are always positive

Therefore since Price of elastic demand < 1, the demand is inelastic in this interval.

This means that, along the demand curve between $10 to $20, if the price changes by 1%, the quantity demanded will change by 0.18%. A change in the price will result in a smaller percentage change in the quantity demanded. For example, a 10% increase in the price will result in only a 1.8% decrease in quantity demanded and a 10% decrease in the price will result in only a 1.8% increase in the quantity demanded

Find each side length,round to the nearest tenth if necessary 11.

vagabundo [1.1K]

We can use a modified form of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of x, also known as side b.

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

We can fill in the values of a^2 and c^2, and then solve for b.

14^2 + b^2 = 25^2

196 + b^2 = 625

Subtract 196 from both sides.

b^2 = 429

√ both sides.

b = 20.7

<h3>The value of x, or b, is equal to 20.7.</h3>

A chef makes 15 gallons of batter for several cakes. Each cake requires ⅗ of a gallon of cake batter. How many cakes can the che

Fiesta28 [93]

The chef can make 25 cakes

Explaintion:
There is a few ways to solve this but an app say way is to
Multiply the 15 gallons by the denominator of the fraction then divide by 3
So 15x5=75
75/3=25
Therefore the chef can make 25 cakes
