Math Problem Statement
Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets:
Q=D(p)=2606−21p , p > 0
Let the market supply of widgets be given by:
Q=S(p)=−4+8p , p > 0
where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price.
