Suppose a nuclear power plant disaster occurs. How could GDP be a "false beacon" in this case?

If there was a nuclear plant disaster, then GDP would be a false beacon because it would account for government spending but not for the pollution caused.

<h3>Why would GDP be a false beacon?</h3>

Two of the components of GDP are government spending and private investment.

If there is a nuclear plant disaster, either the government will spend a lot to clean it up, or a private company will depending on if the plant is public or private.

GDP would therefore increase.

This would be a false beacon however, because this increase would not take into account the nuclear pollution that would have occurred that would negatively impact future production.

Compute delta y/delta x for the interval [2,5], where y = 4x - 9.
Kamila [148]
We have to compute: Δ y / Δ x.
The interval is [ 2, 5 ] and y = 4 x - 9.
y 1 = 4 · 2 - 9 = 8 - 9 = - 1
y 2 = 4 · 5 - 9 = 20 - 9 = 11
Δ y / Δ x = ( y 2 - y 1 ) / ( x 2 - x 1 ) =
= ( 11 - ( - 1 ) ) / ( 5 - 2 ) = ( 11 + 1 ) / 3 = 12 / 3 = 4
Answer:
Δ y / Δ x = 4
