Because you understand the law of demand, you can deduce that the correct graphical
representation of the demand for CDs must be
2) (20) Demand for widgets is a linear function of price. If the price of Widgets is set to
$20, 4200 widgets will be sold. If the price is raised to $25, demand falls to 3600 widgets.
a) (4) Find the demand function D(x), where x represents the price and D(x)= y represents the
demand for widgets.
b) (2) Describe the meaning of the slope of the demand function, in the context of the price, and
demand for widgets.
c) (2) Find the revenue function R(x), which is price times the demand.
(2) Graph the Revenue Function using Desmos, or any other graphing utility of your choice;
note the scale on the axes. If your graph doesn't fit on the graph, your Revenue function is
probably incorrect. Hint Ask Questions! Email!
