A farmer finds there is a linear relationship between the number of bean stalks, n, she plants and the yield, y, each plant produces. When she plants 30 stalks, each plant yields 30 oz of beans. When she plants 34 stalks, each plant produces 28 oz of beans.
Is the function from part (a) increasing or decreasing? How do you know?
Suppose the demand for Colin's kidney pies is linear in the price P. Further, assume that he can sell 100 pies when the price is
$5.00 and 65 pies when the price is $10.00.
(a) Determine the demand N (number of pies sold) as a function of the price P (in dollars).
(Express numbers in exact form. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)
N(P) =
(b) What is the slope of the graph of N(P)?
(Give an exact answer. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)
