Question
### Demand Function for Computer Software

The demand function for a piece of computer software is given by:

\[ p = 850e^{-0.003x} \]

where \( p \) is the price per unit when \( x \) units are demanded.

#### a. Find the price when 900 units are demanded.

To find the price when 900 units are demanded, substitute \( x = 900 \) into the equation:

\[ p = 850e^{-0.003 \times 900} \]

Calculate to find the price.

#### b. Find the quantity demanded when the price is $40. Show your work.

To find the quantity demanded when the price is $40, set \( p = 40 \) and solve for \( x \):

\[ 40 = 850e^{-0.003x} \]

Rearrange and solve for \( x \) to find the quantity demanded.
