D= -200p + 35,000
The supply equation is predicted to be
S = p^2 + 400 p - 20,000
Find the equilibrium price.
----------------
I guess you have equilibrium when S = D, so:
-200p+35000=p^2+400p-20000
p^2+600p-55000=0
p=[-600+-sqrt(600^2-4(-55000)]/2
p=80.79 or -380.79
I think only the positive value applies.
Cheers,
