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

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 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.

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...
