Answer:

The answer to the following question is: (-9.34)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = -0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6

The price elasticity of demand = ( change in quality / change in price)

     =   (dp / dx)  (x/p)

     =   d / dx   (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)   x / p

     =   (-0.14x - 0.7)  x/ (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

elasticity = (-0.14x^2 - 0.7x) / (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

at x=5;

elasticity = (-0.14(5)^2 - 0.7(5)) / (-0.07 (5)^2 - 0.7(5)  + 6)

              = (-3.5 - 3.5) / (-1.75 - 3.5 + 6)

              =  -7/ 0.75 = -9.333

              = -9.34

<em>For the toaster to have worked for more than 20 years without any problem shows that it was a good product. And, the warranty must have expired hence the need not to be held responsible for whatever happened to it.</em>
