A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x, where q is the q

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

See expla below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the demand function:

q = D (x) = 943 - 17 x

a) Find the elasticity:

Find the derivative of the demand function.

D'(x)= -17

Thus, elasticity expression is:

$\frac{x D'(x)}{D'(x)}$

$= \frac{x (-17)}{943 - 17x}$

$= \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Elasticity expression = $E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

b) At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1?

This means E(x) = 1

Substitute 1 for E(x) in the elasticity equation:

$E(x) = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

$1 = \frac{17x}{943 - 17x}$

Cross multiply:

$943 - 17x = 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x = 943$

$34x = 943$

$x = \frac{943}{34}$

x = 27.74

Elasticity at the price of demand = 1 is 27.74

c) At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic?

This means E(x) > 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} > 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x > 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x > 943$

$34x > 943$

$x > \frac{943}{34}$

x > 27.74

The elasticity of demand is elastic at x > 27.74

d) At what prices is the elasticity of demand inelastic?

This means E(x) < 1

Therefore,

$\frac{17x}{943 - 17x} < 1$

Cross multiply:

$17x < 943 - 17x$

Collect like terms

$17x + 17x < 943$

$34x < 943$

$x < \frac{943}{34}$

x < 27.74

The elasticity of demand is inelastic at x < 27.74

e) At what price is the revenue a maximum:

Total revenue will be:

R(x) = x D(x)

= x (943 - 17x)

= 943x - 17x²

R(x) = 934 - 17x(price that maximizes total revenue)

Take R(x) = 0

Thus,

0 = 943 - 17x

17x = 943x

$x = \frac{943}{17}$

$x = 27.74$

Total revenue is maximun at x= 27.74 per cookie

f) At x = 21 per cookie, find the price:

Thus,

R (21) = (943 * 21) - (17 * 21²)

= 19803 - 7497

= 12306

At x = 27.74, find the price:

R(27.74) = (943 * 27.74) - (17 - 27.74²)

= 26158.82 - 13081.63

= 13077.19

We can see the new price of cookie causes the total revenue to decrease.

Therefore, with a small increase in price the total revenue will decrease.

An instructor who taught two sections of Math 161A, the first with 20 students and the second with 30 students, gave a midterm e

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The answers are for option (a) 0.2070 (b)0.3798 (c) 0.3938

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Here Section 1 students = 20

Section 2 students = 30

Here there are 15 graded exam papers.

(a )Here Pr(10 are from second section) = ²⁰C₅ * ³⁰C₁₀/⁵⁰C₁₅= 0.2070

(b) Here if x is the number of students copies of section 2 out of 15 exam papers.

here the distribution is hyper-geometric one, where N = 50, K = 30 ; n = 15

Then,

Pr( x ≥ 10 ; 15; 30 ; 50) = 0.3798

(c) Here we have to find that at least 10 are from the same section that means if x ≥ 10 (at least 10 from section B) or x ≤ 5 (at least 10 from section 1)

so,

Pr(at least 10 of these are from the same section) = Pr(x ≤ 5 or x ≥ 10 ; 15 ; 30 ; 50) = Pr(x ≤ 5 ; 15 ; 30 ; 50) + Pr(x ≥ 10 ; 15 ; 30 ; 50) = 0.0140 + 0.3798 = 0.3938

Note : Here the given distribution is Hyper-geometric distribution

where f(x) = kCₓ)(N-K)C(n-x)/ NCK in that way all these above values can be calculated.

Vita has a pice of rope that is 5 meters long. She cuts the rope into pieces that are each 1/3 meter long. How many pieces does

sp2606 [1]

Normally you would divide something like this by the cuts made. So if there were cuts of 2 inches on a 10 inch rope, then you should divide 10 by 2. It's the same with this:
$5/ \frac{1}{3} = 5*3, 15 \ pieces$
Multiply by the reciprocal when you are dividing fractions.

Part C of Jim and his dad are building a rectangular flower bed.

charle [14.2K]

I gotchu

The perimeter is 35. If we were to change the width, which is one of the dimensions of the flower bed, The perimeter will change. This means that perimeter will no longer be 35. So in order to keep the perimeter as it is, if we change one dimension, we must also change the other.

Let's solve for the length, using the formula to see how much the length changes from.

p = 2l + 2w

35 = 2l + 2(15)

35 = 2l + 30

5 = 2l

2.5 = l

We must increase the length from 2.5 feet. This is because decreasing one dimension will decrease the perimeter. But if we increase the other dimension as well, it will restore the perimeter to where is was initially.
