Answer: (B) The price elasticity of demand for good Z = 0.86
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining elasticity of demand by using the midpoint method is
(Q2 - Q1)/[(Q2 + Q1)/2] / (P2 - P1)/[(P2 + P1)/2]
Where
P1 is the initial price of the item.
P2 is the final price of the item.
Q1 is the initial quantity demanded for the item.
Q2 is the final quantity demanded for the item.
From the information given,
P1 = 10
P2 = 15
Q1 = 85
Q2 = 60
The price elasticity of demand for good Z = (60 - 85)/[(60 + 85)/2] / (15 - 10)/[(15 + 10)/2]
= (-25/72.5) / (5/12.5) = -25/72.5 × 12.5/5
= - 312.5/362.5 = - 0.86
Hey there, 0.14 kilograms is 140 grams, All I did was 0.14*1000 and that gave me 140
He equation of a parabola is x = -4(y-1)^2. What is the equation of the directrix?
<span>You may write the equation as </span>
<span>(y-1)^2 = (1) (x+4) </span>
<span>(y-k)^2 = 4p(x-h), where (h,k) is the vertex </span>
<span>4p=1 </span>
<span>p=1/4 </span>
<span>k=1 </span>
<span>h=-4 </span>
<span>The directrix is a vertical line x= h-p </span>
<span>x = -4-1/4 </span>
<span>x=-17/4 </span>
<span>------------------------------- </span>
<span>What is the focal length of the parabola with equation y - 4 = 1/8x^2 </span>
<span>(x-0)^2 = 8(y-4) </span>
<span>The vertex is (0,4) </span>
<span>4p=8 </span>
<span>p=2 (focal length) -- distance between vertex and the focus </span>
<span>------------------------------- </span>
<span>(y-0)^2 = (4/3) (x-7) </span>
<span>vertex = (7,0) </span>
<span>4p=4/3 </span>
<span>p=1/3 </span>
<span>focus : (h+p,k) </span>
<span>(7+1/3, 0)</span>
