<h3>Given</h3>
  • 5 movies and 2 video games rent for $26
  • 3 movies and 8 video games rent for $53
<h3>Find</h3>
  • the rental cost of each
<h3>Solution</h3>

Let m and v represent the rental cost of a movie and a video game, respectively. The given information can be expressed in two equations:

... 5m +2v = 26

... 3m +8v = 53

Using Cramer's rule, we can find the solution to be

... m = (2·53 -8·26)/(2·3-8·5) = -102/-34 = 3

... v = (26·3-53·5)/-34 = 5.50

The rental cost for each movie is $3; for each video game is $5.50.

_____

The Vedic math variation of Cramer's Rule tells you the solution to

  • ax+by=c
  • dx+ey=f

is ...

  • x=(bf-ec)/(bd-ea)
  • y=(cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

In which of the following cases is productive efficiency not satisfied? Assume we start at a point on the PPF between two produc
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A. The economy switches to producing less of one product without increasing the production of the other product

Step-by-step explanation:

PPC is the graphical representation of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology. It is downward sloping because given resources & technology, production of a good can be increased  by decreasing production of other good.

It is based on assumption that resources are efficiently utilised. Points on PPC show resources efficient utilisation, Points under PPC show under utilisation, Points outside PPC are beyond country's productive capacity.

If country produces less of a good without increasing production of other goods, implying wasted resources & production below PPC. This case doesn't satisfy productive efficiency

Other cases : Producing more of a good & less of other is just re allocative movement on the PPC itself. Production point at PPF intersection with either axis implies economy is producing only the good on that axis.

In all the cases except A. satisfy the 'productive efficiency'

D is the correct answer.

We do not need math in this instance, just knowledge.
We know that the answer will point to 0, not infinity. There are constraints. Also note that 1.75*7=12.25, which means you can fit no more than 7 books in the bag.
What best describes this? Answer Choice D
