To find the equilibrium set, we need to find the intersection of the supply set S and the demand set D. This means we need to find the values of q and p that satisfy both equations.Let's start by solving the system of equations:
We can solve this system of equations using substitution or elimination method. Let's use substitution method:From the first equation, we can express p in terms of q:
Now, substitute this expression for p into the second equation:
Simplify the equation:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 9 from both sides:
Now, we can solve this quadratic equation using factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula. Let's use the quadratic formula:
In this case, a = 1, b = 3, and c = -4. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get:
Simplify the expression inside the square root:
This gives us two possible solutions for q:
Now, let's substitute these values of q back into the expression for p:For
:
For
:
So, the equilibrium set E is:
The interpretation of these results is that there are two equilibrium points in this market. The first equilibrium point is when the quantity demanded is 1 and the price is 2. The second equilibrium point is when the quantity demanded is -4 and the price is
. These points represent the prices and quantities at which the supply and demand sets intersect.
