Question 43

A company model the number of products they will sell NNN, and the price PPP, by N=APBN = AP^BN=APB. The graph shows the linear relationship between log⁡10N\log_{10} Nlog10​N and log⁡10P\log_{10} Plog10​P. The line meets the vertical axis at 7.6 and has a gradient of -1.32.

a.

Find, to the 3 significant figures, the value of A A\,A and the value of BBB.

b.

The company sets a selling price at £74.95. Find, according to the model, an estimate for the number of products the company will sell.
