We said in the discussion of demand and supply models that the demand for a commodity generally goes down as the price goes up. Assume that the demand for a certain commodity goes up as the price goes up. Is it still possible for there to be an equilibrium price? Explain with the aid of a demand and supply graph.
Demand Sales figures show that your company sold 1,960 pen sets each week when they were priced at \(\$ 1.00\) per pen set and 1,800 pen sets each week when they were priced at \(\$ 5.00\) per pen set. What is the linear demand function for your pen sets? [HINT: See Example \(4 .\)
In Exercises 39-58, calculate the exact slope (rather than a decimal approximation) of the straight line through the given pair of points, if defined. Try to do as many as you can without writing anything down except the answer. [HINT: See Quick Example \(5 .\) $$ (a, b) \text { and }(a, d) \quad(b \neq d) $$
Carbon Dating A fossil contains 4.06 grams of carbon 14. Refer to the formula for \(A(t)\) at the end of Example \(7,\) and estimate the amount of carbon 14 in the sample 10,000 years, 20,000 years, and 30,000 years ago.
