Determinación y análisis de la demanda de cacao mediante el uso de funciones respecto a cantidad y tiempo.

Abstract

The practical case called: "Determination and analysis of the demand of cocoa through the use of functions with respect to quantity and time", in the introduction refers as background of the problem, a brief history of the product and how it revolutionized mathematics by joining the algebra and the geometry with assistance of the Cartesian plane; the importance of research in the use of supply and demand curves. The general objective was to calculate the demand for cocoa to obtain a reasonable sales plan; delimiting the problem to the study of the linear functions of the curves quantity - time and price - quantity. Within the theoretical framework paraphrased scientific articles related to the object of study, published in indexed journals described in the Titration Guide of the Technical University of Machala; definitions of the law of supply and demand, functions of price and demand; and the descriptive scientific method was applied. The proposed exercise was developed, clearing the formulas of quantity and time based on the price of the product; the respective tables and graphs of the demand and supply curves and the respective descriptive analysis of the case were made. Three conclusions were expressed for each specific objective and it was finalized by contrasting the applicability and different uses of the quantity and time functions for the projection of the demand of an Ecuadorian agricultural product.
