In the pair of supply and demand equations below, x represents the quantity demanded in units of a thousand and p the unit price in dollars, find the equilibrium quantity and the equilibrium price. \n" ); document.write( "p = 108 − 4x^2 and p = x^2 + 10x + 33 \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Use substitution to solve:: \n" ); document.write( "108-4x^2 = x^2 + 10x + 33 \n" ); document.write( "5x^2 + 10x -75 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "(x-5)(x+3) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "Positive solution:: \n" ); document.write( "x = 5 \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "equilibrium quantity ??? 5 Thousand units \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "equilibrium price ??? 108-4*5^2 = 108-100 = $8 Dollars \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
