48.6-1.8=46.8

46.8/3=15.6

$15.60 per CD :)

There are 4 different methods you could use to solve a quadratic equation that would depending upon the actual equation. They ar

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Part A: x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0 use the factoring the equation method

Part A: x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0 use the quadratic formula

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A;

The equation is x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0 , looking at this quadratic expression, you notice it is written in a quadratic equation standard form of ax^2+bx+c=0. Additionally, you notice that can find what multiplied to get the quadratic equation,factor.You can identify two numbers that multiply to get ac and add to give b.In this question;

a=1,b=6,c=8

ac=8

The numbers are 4 and 2. Factoring the equation method will give;

x²+6x+8=0

x²+4x+2x+8=0

x(x+4)+2(x+4)=0

(x+2)+(x+4)=x²+6x+8

x+2=0, x=-2 and x+4=0, x=-4

Part B

The quadratic equation is ;

x²+6x-11=0

You notice that there are no factors that multiply direct to get the quadratic equation like in part 1. When you observe, a=1, b=6 and c=-11

ac=1×-11=-11 and b=6 .You notice there are no factors that multiply to give -11 and add to get 6, hence the factorizing the equation method can not be used.However, you can apply the quadratic formula that requires coefficients. You have a=1, b=c and c=-11 as the coefficients to use in the quadratic formula.

A group of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 144 if the price is $250. The wholesale

const2013 [10]

Answer:

(275,122)

When the price will be $275, the quantity will be 122 televisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a group of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 144 if the price is $250.

As the quantity of televisions depends on price of televisions, so our demand curve will pass through points (300,104) and (250,144).

Let us find slope of demand line using slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , where,

$m =\text{Slope of line}$ ,

$y_2-y_1=\text{Difference between two y-coordinates}$ ,

$x_2-x_1=\text{Difference between same x-coordinates of two y-coordinates}$

Upon substituting coordinates of our given points in slope formula we will get,

$m=\frac{104-144}{300-250}$

$m=\frac{-40}{50}$

$m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Let us substitute $m=-\frac{4}{5}$ coordinates of point (250,144) in slope intercept form of equation ( $y=mx+b$ ).

$144=-\frac{4}{5}*250+b$

$144=-4*50+b$

$144=-200+b$

$144+200=-200+200+b$

$344=b$

Upon substituting $b=344$ and $m=-\frac{4}{5}$ we will get equation of our demand line as:

$y=-\frac{4}{5}x+344$

Similarly we will find the equation of supply line using points (225,88) and (315,168).

$m=\frac{168-88}{315-225}$

$m=\frac{80}{90}$

$m=\frac{8}{9}$

Let us substitute $m=\frac{8}{9}$ and coordinates of point (225,88) in slope intercept form of equation ( $y=mx+b$ ).

$88=\frac{8}{9}*225+b$

$88=8*25+b$

$88=200+b$

$88-200=200-200+b$

$-112=b$

Upon substituting $b=-112$ and $m=\frac{8}{9}$ we will get equation of our supply line as:

$y=\frac{8}{9}x-122$

Let us equate both lines to find the point where both lines intersect.

$-\frac{4}{5}x+344=\frac{8}{9}x-122$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x+344=\frac{8}{9}x-\frac{8}{9}x-122$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x+344=-122$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x+344-344=-122-344$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x=-466$

Let us have a common denominator.

$-\frac{4*9}{5*9}x-\frac{8*5}{9*5}x=-466$

$-\frac{36}{45}x-\frac{40}{45}x=-466$

$\frac{-36-40}{45}x=-466$

$\frac{-76}{45}x=-466$

$\frac{-76}{45}*\frac{45}{-76}x=-466*\frac{45}{-76}$

$x=466*\frac{45}{76}$

$x=6.1315789473684211*45$

$x=275.9210526315789495\approx 275$

Let us substitute x=275 in any of our equation to solve for y.

$y=-\frac{4}{5}*275+344$

$y=-4*55+344$

$y=-220+344$

$y=122$

Therefore, the equilibrium point for the market will be (275,122).
