Problem Set B
2. The number q of roller blades a firm is willing to sell per week at a price of $p is given by q= 60 + 300 for 20 < or equal to p , or equal to 100.
a. Find dq/dp
b. Find the amount supplied when the price is $56.
c. Find the instantaneous rate of change supply with respect to price when the price is $56.
3.
a. A broken pipe at an oil rig off the east coast of Trinidad produces a circular oil slick that is S meters thick at a distance x meters from the break. It difficult to measure the thickness of the slick directly at the source owing to excess turbulence, but for x>0 they know that
S(x)= x2/2+5/3x/x3+ x2 + 2x
if the oil slick is assumed to be continuously distributed, how thick is expected to be at the source?
b. If f(x)= 4x+7 1< or equal to x < or equal to 2
4x2-1 2<x< or equal to 4
determine whether the function f(x) is continuous throughout its domain?
Show all working. Thank you.
