Chapter 8, Problem 22

(choose chapter or problem)

The average price of large cars getting low gas mileage (gas guzzlers) is x and the average price of a gallon of gasoline is y. The number, q1, of gas guzzlers bought in a year, depends on both x and y, so q1 = f(x, y). Similarly, if q2 is the number of gallons of gas bought to fill gas guzzlers in a year, then q2 = g(x, y). (a) What do you expect the signs of q1/x and q2/y to be? Explain. (b) What do you expect the signs of q1/y and q2/x to be? Explain.
