This is section 3.8 problem 30: a motel owner observes that when a room is priced at $60 per day, all 80 rooms of the motel are occupied. for every $3 rise in the charge per room per day, one more room is vacant. each occupied room costs an additional $16 per day to maintain. (a) the demand function, expressed by p , the price in dollars charged for each room per day, as a function of x ,

see explanations

Explanation:

First, for 80 room charged at $60 per room ,all rooms are occupied

Let the demand function, expressed by p , the price in dollars charged for each room per day, as a function of x as,

p(x)=$60x where x in the number of rooms

When the price per room is increased by $3, the demand function will be;

p(x)=$63x

Maintenance per room after price increase will be;

p(x)=$16x

This means: $63x -$60x=$16x

3*80 p(x)=16*80

p(x)=(16*80)/(3*80) =5.33

Due to price increase the number of rooms occupied reduced by 5 rooms to 75 rooms. Because of unoccupied rooms bringing no revenue the maintenance cost increased. The demand for room decreased.

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
