Price of a Commodity. The price of a certain commodity in dollars per unit at time t (measured in weeks) is given by p = 30 - 9e^(-2t) - 9e^(-t/3). Find the equilibrium price of the commodity (in dollars per unit). (Hint: it is given by lim t→∞ p)

Price of a Commodity The price of a certain commodity in dollars per unit at time $t$ (measured in weeks) is given by $p=8+4 e^{-2 t}+t e^{-2 t}$ a. What is the price of the commodity at $t=0 ?$ b. How fast is the price of the commodity changing at $t=0 ?$ c. Find the equilibrium price of the commodity. Hint: It's given by $\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} p .$ Also, use the fact that $\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} t e^{-2 t}=0$

Consider the supply and demand functions: Supply: p = 4q + 3 Demand: p = -0.5q + 30 where p is the price per unit in dollars and q is the quantity in units. Find the equilibrium price.

For a product, the supply curve is p = 5 + 0.03q and the demand curve is p = 30e^(-0.003q), where p is the price in dollars per unit and q is the quantity sold at that price. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Round your answer for the equilibrium price to two decimal places and your answer for the equilibrium quantity to the nearest integer.
