what is the total utility at 4 units and the marginal utility when jack goes from consuming three pop tarts to four pop tarts?
1 answer:
The total utility of 4 units is 50 and the marginal utility is 5
Total utility is the sum of satisfaction that is derived from the consumption of units of a good or service.
Total utility can be determined by adding the marginal utility of each unit that is consumed.
Total utility of consuming 4 units =<em> marginal utility</em> of the first unit + <em>marginal utility</em> of the second unit + <em>marginal utility</em> of the third unit + <em>marginal </em>utility of the fourth unit
20 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 50
Marginal utility is the change in total utility when consumption increases by unit. Marginal utility is 5

Answer:
Explanation:
This is an exponential growing: there is a constant growing<em> factor </em>which multiplies the value number of letters sent every week.
The growing factor <em>4 letters every 9.1 weeks</em> means that every 9.1 weeks the number of letters is multiplied by 4.
Then, if the number of weeks is t, the number of times the number of letters increase is t/9.1.
Then, the exponential<em> function</em> <em>that models the number of people who receive the email t weeks since Tobias initially sent the chain letter</em>, has the form:
<em>Tobias initially sent the chain letter to 37 friends</em>; thus, the initial value is 37, and the complete function is:
, where t is the number of weeks since Tobias initially sent the chain letter.
