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!

- Please help me make this a grapharrow_forwardNot sure what adjustments to make to the graph and how to solvearrow_forward: Let the Market Demand curve for soybeans be given by the following equation: Q=100000 -10000P where Q = the quantity of soybeans in kilograms P = the price of soybeans in dollars per kilogram. Supply: Let the Market Supply curve for soybeans be given by the equation: Q= -5000+5000P Graph the Demand Curve on a sheet of paper. Be sure to label the axes. What is the slope of the Demand Curve? Is it positive or negative? Why? What is the intercept? Note that in order to calculate the geometrically correct intercept and slope you probably want to rewrite the equation so that P is expressed in terms of Q, and then interpret the coefficients. Equilibrium: Graph the Demand and Supply curves together. Label all parts of the graph. Using algebra, solve for the equilibrium price and quantity of the soybeans. Consumer Surplus: The Consumer Surplus (CS) is the triangular area under the demand curve and above the equilibrium…arrow_forward
