What is a relevant example of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain.
Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Talk about the article and its findings, then include the URL.

Suppose that the demand curve for corn has the equation p = -0.29q+6.265 and the supply curve for corn has the equation p = 0.2q +2.1, where p is the price per bushel in dollars and q is the
quantity (demanded or produced) in billions of bushels.
(a) Find the quantities supplied and demanded when the price of corn is $3.40 per bushel.
(b) Determine the quantity of corn that will be produced and the price at which it will sell.
(a) The quantity supplied when the price of corn is $3.40 is
