Based on the estimates of the U.S. daily oil demand function in Equation 9.3 and supply function

Question:

Based on the estimates of the U.S. daily oil demand function in Equation 9.3 and supply function in Equation 9.4, use calculus to determine the change in dead weight loss from a marginal increase in a tariff, evaluated where the tariff is initially zero. (You are being asked to determine how an area similar to that of C + E in Figure 9.8 changes when a small tariff is initially applied?

Equation 9.3,

Q = D(p) = 35.4p-0.37,

Equation 9.4,

Q = S(p) = 3.35p0.33.
