Exercise 1
The demand for a certain product is given by D(P) = 9 − P2 and the supply for the same
product is given by S(P) = 5P − 5.
a) Plot the demand and supply function in the PQ plane.
b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity.

Exercise 2
Find the economic domains of the following demand functions:
a) Q(P) = −P3 + 3P2 − 3P + 9
v
t P
u
b) Q(P) =
P2 − 4
1
c) Q(P) = ln
P−1

Exercise 3
The company’s total costs function is

TC(Q) = 3Q2 + 45,

where Q is the number of items produced.


Estimate the change in the company’s total costs, if the current production level q0 = 150
items is increased by 5.
