Suppose the supply and demand for a certain textbook are given by ​supply: p equals one fourth q squared comma ​demand: p equals
Llana [10]

Answer:

the demand quantity and the supply quantity at a price of ​$15 is 8 units

Explanation:

Supply, P = 1/4 Q²

Demand, P = - 1/4 Q²+30

If P = 15

Quantity Demanded will be 15 = -0.25Q²+30;

if we move 30 across the equality sign.

Therefore -0.25Q²=-15; divide both sides by -0.25;

Q² = 60, Q = 7.746, approximately 8 units

Quantity Supplied will be 15 =  1/4 Q², dividing both sides by 1/4

Q² = 60, Q = 7.746, approximately 8.
