Helen's preferences over cds (c) and sandwiches (s) are given by u(s,

<span>The fact that Helen’s indifference curves touch the axes should immediately make you want to check for a corner point solution. To see the corner point optimum algebraically, notice if there was an interior solution, the tangency condition implies (S + 10)/(C +10) = 3, or S = 3C + 20. Combining this with the budget constraint, 9C + 3S = 30, we find that the optimal number of CDs would be given by 3018â’=Cwhich implies a negative number of CDs. Since it’s impossible to purchase a negative amount of something, our assumption that there was an interior solution must be false. Instead, the optimum will consist of C = 0 and Helen spending all her income on sandwiches: S = 10. Graphically, the corner optimum is reflected in the fact that the slope of the budget line is steeper than that of the indifference curve, even when C = 0. Specifically, note that at (C, S) = (0, 10) we have P C / P S = 3 > MRS C,S = 2. Thus, even at the corner point, the marginal utility per dollar spent on CDs is lower than on sandwiches. However, since she is already at a corner point with C = 0, she cannot give up any more CDs. Therefore the best Helen can do is to spend all her income on sandwiches: ( C , S ) = (0, 10). [Note: At the other corner with S = 0 and C = 3.3, P C / P S = 3 > MRS C,S = 0.75. Thus, Helen would prefer to buy more sandwiches and less CDs, which is of course entirely feasible at this corner point. Thus the S = 0 corner cannot be an optimum]</span>

The sum of two numbers is -26. One number is 148 less than the other. Find the numbers
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

61 and -87

Step-by-step explanation:

If the numbers are x and x - 148, we can write the following equation:

x + x - 148 = -26

2x - 148 = -26

2x = 122

x = 61 so x - 148 = 61 - 148 = -87

The speed of the international space station is 27,576 kilometres per hour.
Dmitriy789 [7]
(27576km/hr)(24hr/day)(orbits/42600km)=orbits/day=15.53

So the station makes 15 FULL orbits per day

(27576km/h)(1000m/km)(h/3600s)=7660m/s
