MHB How to Calculate Equilibrium Price with Given Information?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the equilibrium price, identify the point where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. In the provided data, the equilibrium price is $15.00, as both the quantity demanded and supplied are 27 at this price point. This intersection indicates that the market is balanced, with no surplus or shortage. Understanding this concept is crucial for analyzing market dynamics. The equilibrium price reflects the optimal price for both consumers and producers.

I do not understand how to calculate the equilibrium price of an object. Say i have the following information how would i set up the information to solve for the price?

Price of (Insert the name of your good or service) Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied (in this order.)

\$7.99, 35, 21
\$15.00, 27, 27
\$34.99, 15, 43

Please help i need to finish a project for school.

This is more of a concept question. You don't really need to do any calculations.

The equilibrium price occurs when your supply and demand curve intersect, meaning, when supply=demand.

So your equilibrium price is $15.00, because you have supply=27 and demand=27, so supply=demand.
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
