This supply function is defined only for p > 4: the assumption is that price must
exceed 4 for firms to be tempted into the industry. Elasticity of supply is very large for
only just greater than 4 and falls as p increases, being close to 3 if p is very large.
Exercises
02.1 We showed in Section 9.1 that an instantaneous rate of interest of r yields an APR
(annual percentage rate) of 100f% per annum, where ↑ = e" – 1. If compound-
ing is continuous and you know that the APR is 100s% per annum, what is the
instantaneous rate of interest?
9.2.2 Differentiate
(a) In(ax), (b) In(xª +1), (c) xlna, (d) x²,
(e) In(e" +1), (f) exp(e" +1), (g) In
x4 + 1'
9.2.3 (a) In Example 1 of this section we found the derivative of c. Now do this
another way by taking natural logarithms of both sides of the equation y =
Ca and then differentiating with respect to x.
(b) In Example 4 of this section we found the derivative of exp(-x²). Now do
this another way, using the same method as in part (a) of this exercise.
9.2.4 Find the critical points of the function
y = x? – 2 In(1+ x²)
and determine their nature. Sketch the graph.
9.2.5 Find the critical point of
y = xe-*
and determine its nature. Find also the point of inflexion and the
for which the function is (a) convex, (b) concave.

although its behaviour for x large and negative is obvious, that for x large and
positive is not. This gap will be filled in Exercise 10.4.3.]
