Answer: 3/8

because 3/8 is .375
And 3/4 is .75
And 1/6 is .1666

1/2 is .50
3/8 is closest

Considere a função de oferta como sendo y= 5x - 1/2 e a função de demanda como sendo y= -7x + 47/2 , onde x é a quantidade e y é
swat32

A) Temos que igualar isso a 2,50, que é o valor de y, ou seja, o valor do preço. Façamos isso, então, na função de demanda.

y = -7x + \frac{47}{2}

Substituir.

2,50 = - 7x + \frac{47}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

-7x  = - \frac{47}{2} + 2,50

A fração 47/2 corresponde a 23,5. É mais interessante para nós, nesse caso, utilizar o valor decimal.

-7x  = - 23,5 + 2,50

Somar logo.

-7x = -21

Podemos multiplicar por -1 para tirar os sinais negativos.

7x = 21

Passar o x dividindo

x = \frac{21}{7}

Dividir

\boxed{x = 3}

Para um preço de R$ 2,50, a quantidade demandada é de 3 unidades.



B) Basta igualar as duas formulinhas.

5x - \frac{1}{2} = -7x + \frac{47}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

5x + 7x = \frac{47}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

Somar tudo. Como as frações têm o mesmo denominador, <u>nada de </u><u>mmc</u>! Basta somar os numeradores.

12x = \frac{48}{2}

Podemos dividir lá, olha:

12x = 24

Passar o x dividindo

x = \frac{24}{12}

Dividir

\boxed{x = 2}

O ponto de equilíbrio é o valor 2.



C) Basta, então, igualar as fórmulas da oferta e da demanda a 10.

Fórmula da oferta

10 = 5x - \frac{1}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

5x = 10 - \frac{1}{2}

Se 1/2 = 0,5, dá pra resolver sem fazer mmc:

5x = 10 - 0,5

Subtrair

5x = 9,5

Passar dividindo

x = \frac{9,5}{5}

Dividir.

\boxed{x = 1,9}

Fórmula da demanda

10 = -7x + \frac{47}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

-7x = \frac{47}{2} - 10

Divide 47/2, vai.

-7x = 23,5 - 10

Subtrair.

-7x = 13,5

Passar o 7 dividindo.

x = - \frac{13,5}{7}

Vamos dividir e transformar em decimal.

\boxed{x = -1,9285714285714285714285714285714}


Subtrair a oferta pela demanda.

x = 1,9 - (-1,9285714285714285714285714285714)

Subtrair.

\boxed{x = 3,8285714285714285714285714285714}

Arredondando, o preço será de R$ 3,83.

A rectangle has a length of x+2, a width of 7, and a perimeter of 32. The value of x is ?
beks73 [17]
Perimeter = sum of all sides

32 = 2(x+2) + 2(7)
32 = 2x+4 + 14
32 = 2x+18
14 = 2x
 /2     /2

A culture of yeast doubles in size every four hours. If the yeast population is estimated to be three million now, what will it
Bess [88]
It doubles every 4 hours, so after 24 hours there will be 6 doublings.
2^6 = 64
So, the population will be (3,000,000 * 64) or 192,000,000 in 24 hours.
The answer is B.
