Answer:

JK=7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the line segment, since J is on it ,it means the line segment is

represented as I J K

from this illustration, we can say that the longest part of the line segment is from I to K

this means that, IJ +JK =IK

making JK the subject,

JK= IK - IJ

but from the question, JK=2x-1 , IK=3x+2 and IJ=3x-5

substituting them in the expression,

2x-1 =3x+2 -(3x-5)

solving for x

2x-1 =3x+2-3x+5

2x-1 =0+7

2x-1 =7

2x=1+7

2x=8

dividing through by 2

2x/2 =8/2

x=4

but the question says we should find the numerical value for JK

but from the line segment,

JK=2x-1

but now we know the value of x to be 2

so substituting it in the formula

JK= 2(4)-1

JK=8-1

JK=7

therefore, the numerical value for JK is 7

$\text{Hi there! :)}$

$\large\boxed{g(x) = 7x + 2\text{ , } f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10}$

$\text{h(x) = f(g(x)), so determine what g(x) was substituted into f(x):}\\\\\text{Given the equation } h(x) = \sqrt{7x +2}- 10:\\\\\text{In the part of the equation with a variable, we see that "7x + 2" is in a square root:}$

$\text{Therefore, we can say that g(x) = 7x + 2:}\\\\\text{If h(x) = f(7x + 2), then f(x) must be:}\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$

$\text{The respective functions would be:}\\\\g(x) = 7x + 2\\\\f(x) = \sqrt{x} - 10$

Consider two countries, A and B, whose respective industries produce goods A and B. Total world output of the good is given by Q

castortr0y [4]

Answer: hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question

answer :

a) 31.5

b) 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total world output of good given ( Q ) = qA + qB

world demand ( P ) = 100 - Q

cost function for country A = cA (qA) = 8qA

cost function of country B = cB(qB) = 3qB

total world emission = 0.5Q

emission per unit good = 0.5

<u>a) Determine total world emissions when both countries compete in a Cournot fashion</u>

Q = 63

therefore Total world emission = 0.5 ( Q )

= 0.5 ( 63 ) = 31.5

attached below is the detailed solution

<u>b) Determine the total world emissions after Country A enacts a carbon tax</u>

Q = 49

Therefore Total world emission after tax = 0.5 ( Q )

= 0.5 ( 49 ) = 24.5

attached below is the detailed solution
