Replace values in the equation;

QD = -5200 - 42(500) + 20(600) + 5.2(5,500) + 0.2(10,000) + 0.25(5,000) = -5200 – 21,000 + 12,000 + 28,600 + 2,000 + 1,250 = 17,650 Price elasticity of demand = ∂QD∂P×PQD ∂QD = change in quantity demanded, ∂P = change in price; P= price, QD = quantity demanded ∂QD∂P = -42 QD= 17,650 P= 500 Price elasticity of demand = -42 ×50017,650 = -1.1898 The above elasticity indicates that the product’s quantity demanded ...

An amino acid that has a high pKa value is weaker than on that has a low pka value. Given that an acid’s dissociation constant is Ka, the pKa value is given by the formula: pKa = -log10Ka pH = pKa + log ([A-]/[HA]),It follows that for Cys12, 7.4= 7.2 + log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 7.4-7.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 0.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 100.2= Cys-/HCys Therefore, Cys-/HCys = 10-4Similarly, ...

In this case, we illustrate the application of multiple regression in economics. We gather data on the unemployment rate (dependent variable) and three independent variables; GDP per capita, maximum weekly unemployment benefit and population estimate for 2015. The data is collected from 39 different states. Regression analysis results show that there is a positive association between the unemployment rate and GDP per capita and population estimate. The relationship between unemployment rate and maximum weekly benefits is inverse. The evaluation of the reliability of the first-order model shows that it has a small coefficient of determination. The first-order model is ...

People will think of other people on the basis of the work they do at free-will. However, it is not an ideal treatment for people to blame other people for what they are forced to do. Freedom is compatible with determinism when the behaviour of a person is caused by the preceding factors. Therefore, the causal laws of determinism end up forming the basis of science. Freedom to perform an act is the idea that human beings have the ability to have choices in how they act and taking the assumption that they have the freedom in terms of ...
