Answer: The quantity demanded is decreased by 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price elasticity of demand = 2

Percentage change in price  = (+)10%

We need to find the percentage change in quantity demanded.

As we know the formula:

e_D=\dfrac{\text{\% change in quantity demanded}}{\text{\% change in price}}\\\\2=\dfrac{x}{10}\\\\x=20\%

As we know that there is inverse relationship between the price and quantity demanded.

Hence, the quantity demanded is decreased by 20%.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

x + 2y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line goes through (-4, 0) and (4, -4).

The slope is (-4 - 0) / (4 - -4) = -4 / (4 + 4) = -4 / 8 = -1/2.

Since we are looking for the equation of the line parallel to that line, the slope will be the same.

We have an equation of y = -1/2x + b. We have a point at (2, 3). We can then say that y = 3 when x = 2.

3 = (-1/2) * 2 + b

b - 1 = 3

b = 4.

So, we have y = -1/2x + 4.

1/2x + y = 4

x + 2y = 8.

Hope this helps!

What is a27 of the sequence 15,10,5,…?
jeka57 [31]

-115

Using the arithmetic formula, your equation appears as so:

an = 15 + (27 - 1) - 5

15 being the first number in the sequence, 27 being the number you're trying to find, and -5 being the common difference.

This will give you the answer of -115.

Hope this helps!

The difference between number 20 and its opposite is what percentage of 200? (if you do not remember: opposite of 15 is −15; opp
True [87]
20%

This is because 20 and it's opposite -20 is 40. (20 - -20 = 40). Then 40 is 20% of 200.

El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552 cuáles son esos números?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 23 y 24 ( ó -23 y -24)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos números consecutivos se escriben como:

n y (n + 1)

done n es un numero entero.

Entonces "El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552"

Se escribe como:

n*(n + 1) = 552

n^2 + n = 552

n^2 + n - 552 = 0

Tenemos una cuadrática, las posibles soluciones son obtenidas con la formula de Bhaskara.

n = \frac{-1 +- \sqrt{1^2 - 4*1*(-552)} }{2} = \frac{-1 +- 47}{2}

Las dos soluciones son.

n = (-1 - 47)/2 = -48/2 = -24

n = (-1 + 47)/2 = 46/2 = 23

Si tomamos la primer solución, n = -24

Entonces los dos números consecutivos son:

n = -24

(n + 1) = -23

Si n = 23 entonces

n + 1 = 24

Lo cual tiene sentido, por que lo único que cambia son los signos, los cuales se cancelarían en la multiplicación.

The Goodsmell perfume producing company has a new line of perfume and is
LenKa [72]

Given:

It is given that surface area must be less than 150 cm².

Solution:

The Maximum Volume With Total Surface Area Less  than 150 cm² is shown in the table.

From the table, it can be concluded that for r=3.00 cm and h=4.95 cm the surface area will be less than 150 cm²  and the volume will be the maximum.

S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2\\S=2\pi (3)(7.95)+2\pi3^2\\S=93.3+56.5\\S=149.8 \text{ cm}^2

Calculate the volume.

V=\pi r^2h\\V=\pi(3)^2(4.95)\\V=139.96

Hence, the required dimensions are r=3.00 cm and h=4.95 cm.
