, where t is the number of years since the initial run and f(t) is
given in dollars. What is the average rate of change in the price of the plushie from
t = 0 to t = 8 years?
2. Suppose that the supply and demand functions for magical clam-making devices
are, respectively, S(p) = 2p and D(p) = 1000 2p. Now suppose that a 10% sales
tax is placed upon consumers. Find the equilibrium price and quantity after the
imposition of the tax.
3. A radioactive super-otter has a half-life of 25 years. Write an exponential function
describing the amount of radioactive material left after t years given that the otter
is completely radioactive and weighs 10 pounds at t = 0.
