Question

The marginal price for a weekly deman of x bottles of cough medicine in a drug store is given by p'(x)= -10,000 / (5x-15)^2 A. find the price-demand equation if the weekly demand is 110 when the price of a bottle of cough medicine is $5. B. What is the weekly demand (to the nearest bottle) when the price is $7?

Explanation / Answer

price demand equation by point slope method

p- p1 = slope (x-x1)

p- p1 = p'(x) (x-x1)

p- 5 = (-10000/ (5x1-15)2 ) * (x- 110)

p-5 = (-10000/ (550-15)2 )* (x- 110)

p- 5 =-0.035 *(x-110)

p= -0.035x +3.85 +5

p= -0.035x + 8.85 is the price-demand equation

b) at p= 7

7= -0.035x +8.85

0.035x = 1.85

x= 53 is weekly demand
