You first need to establish the benefits function B. For each firm it is equal to the amount produced (q1 for firm 1 and q2 for firm 2) multiplied by the price P, minus cost C. It is

B1 = P.q1 - C1 = (69 - q1 - q2)q1 - C1

B2= P.q2 - C2 = (69 - q1 - q2)q2 - C2

As firma Will maximize benefits we need the derivative in q1 and q2 for firms 1 and 2 respectively. This will give us

69 - 2q1 - q2 = 0

69 - q1 - 2q2 = 0

Note that the derivative of cost is null as marginal cost is null.

Thus,

q2= 69 - 2q1

Replacing on the second equation:

69- q1 - 138 + 4q1 = 0

-69 + 3q1= 0

q1= 69/3=23

Replacing in the q2 equation:

q2=69- 46= 23

To find the money they make replace in benefits function. First we find piece P=69-23-23=23. Thus:

B1=23*23-C1

B2=23*23-C2

As we don't have a value for C1 and C2 we can't compute a number for benefits. If you have these values you will have the benefits.

My teacher wouldn't help me.. and this is my last question. I need to know how to find the perimeter of the geometric figure (it
nika2105 [10]
This isn't really a geometry problem.  It's just an addition of fractions.

You know that 'perimeter' means 'the distance all the way around'.
And you know the length of all the sides of the parallelogram.
All you need to do is add them up !

(13/12) + (3/13) + (13/12) + (3/13) = the perimeter

Notice that two of the sides are equal, and the other two sides are also equal.
So you can make the job a little easier if you add up the twelfths first

(13/12) + (13/12) = 26/12

and then add up the thirteenths ...

(3/13) + (3/13) = 6/13 .

Now, the perimeter looks a little bit less complicated.
It's just
                   (26/12) + (6/13) = the perimeter.

This is the tough part.  Before you can add fractions, they need to have
a common denominator. 

The smallest common denominator for 12ths and 13ths is  <em>156 </em>!
Change each fraction to (<em>something over 156</em>), and add um up.
I'll leave that part to you.
