Find the equilibrium point for the given demand and supply functions.
D(p) = (p - 62)^2
S(p) = p^2 + 4p + 2948
Equilibrium price: pE =
Equilibrium occurs when D(p) = S(p)
(p-62)^2 = p^2 + 4p + 2948
(p-62)(p-62) = p^2 + 4p + 2948
Use FOIL on the left side to gt:
p^2 - 124p + 3844 = p^2 + 4p + 2948
Add 124p to both sides; subtract 2948 from both sides.
128p = 896
p = 7
