Suppose the Wholesale Price of a Certain Brand of Medium-Sized

question 183

Short Answer

Suppose the wholesale price of a certain brand of medium-sized eggs p (in dollars/carton) is related to the weekly supply x (in thousands of cartons) by the equation .
If 23,000 cartons of eggs are available at the beginning of a certain week and the supply is falling at the rate of 800 cartons/week, at what rate is the wholesale price changing? Round the answer to the nearest tenth. (Hint: To find the value of p when , solve the supply equation for p when ).
Round the answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Postsynaptic Neuron

A neuron that receives a signal (via neurotransmitter molecules) from another neuron at a synapse.

Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential

A decrease in the potential of the postsynaptic neuronal membrane, making it less likely to generate an action potential.

Resting Potential

Resting potential refers to the electric potential difference across the neuronal membrane when the neuron is not actively sending a signal.

Absolute Refractory Period

The period immediately following the firing of a nerve fiber when it cannot be stimulated to fire again, no matter how strong the incoming signal.
