The highway department is planning to build a picnic area for motorists along a major highway. It is to be rectangular with an area of 5,000 square yards and is to be fenced off on the three sides not adjacent to the highway. Express the number of yards of fencing required as a function of the length of the
unfenced side.

Example 1.4.3
During a drought, residents of Marin County, California, were faced with a severe water shortage. To discourage excessive use of water, the county water district initiated drastic rate increases. The monthly rate for a family of four was $1.22 per 100 cubic feet of water for the first 1,200 cubic feet, $10 per 100 cubic feet for the next 1,200 cubic feet, and $50 per 100 cubic feet thereafter. Express the monthly water bill for a family of four as a function of the amount of water used.

A manufacturer can produce blank premium-quality videotapes at a cost of $2 per cassette. The cassettes have been selling for $5 apiece, and at that price, consumers have been buying 4,000 cassettes a month. The manufacturer is planning to raise the price of the cassettes and estimates that for each $1 increase in the price, 400 fewer cassettes will be sold each month.
a.Express the manufacturer’s monthly profit as a function of the price at which the cassettes are sold.
b.Sketch the graph of the profit function. What price corresponds to maximum profit? What is the maximum profit?

Market Equilibrium
� Demand function D(x) for a commodity relates the number of units
x that are produced to the unit price p = D(x) at which all x units are
demanded (sold) in the marketplace.
� Supply function S(x) gives the corresponding price p = S(x) at
which producers are willing to supply x units to the marketplace
� The law of supply and demand says that in a competitive market
environment, supply tends to equal demand, and when this occurs,
the market is said to be in equilibrium.
� When the market is not in equilibrium, it has a shortage when
demand exceeds supply [D(x) > S(x)] and surplus when supply
exceeds demand [S(x) > D(x)].

Example 1.4.6
Market research indicates that manufacturers will supply xunits of a particular commodity to the marketplace when the price is p=S(x) dollars per unit and that the same number of units will be demanded (bought) by consumers when the price is p=D(x) dollars per unit, where the supply and demand functions are give by
S(x)=x2+14 and D(x)=174-6x
a.At what level of production x and unit price is market equilibrium achieved?b.Sketch the supply and demand curves, p=S(x) and p= D(x), on the same graph and interpret.
