A manufacture business began with an initial stock offering of 3000. At the end of the 1st year, management learned that the company's profit followed the graph of P(x) =x² +3 • x + 3 where x is the number of months since January. Use the mean value theorem to find the months in which the profits changed at the same rate of the average rate of change during the first 7 months. Note: If there is more than one x value, please enter them in descending order and separate them with commas. Please round to the nearest thousandths.

A standard "money demand" function used by macroeconomists has the form In(m) = fo + B,In(GDP) + 62R, Where m is the quantity of (real) money, GDP is the value of (real) gross domestic product, and R is the value of the nominal interest rate measured in percent per year. Supposed that B, = 2.28 and B2 = - 0.09. What is the expected change in m if GDP increases by 1%? The value of m is expected to increase by approximately 2 %. (Round your response to the nearest integer) What is the expected change in m if the interest rate increases from 1% to 6%? The value of m is expected to decrease by approximately 45 %. (Round your response to the nearest integer)
