1. Derive the inverse demand function and the demand function.
The inverse demand function is
Upper P equals negative one tenth Upper Q plus 62.2
.(Enter your response as an equation in terms of P and Q.)
The demand function is
select: Q =10P -622.
Upper Q equals 10 Upper P minus 622..(Enter your response as an equation in terms of P and Q.)
2. Derive the inverse supply function and the supply function.
The inverse supply function is
Upper P equals 10 Upper Q minus 80.(Enter your response as an equation in terms of P and Q.)
The supply function is
Upper Q equals StartFraction left parenthesis Upper P plus 80 right parenthesis Over 10 EndFraction
.(Enter your response as an equation in terms of P and Q.)
