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.

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

c) l x - 5 l - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

when you're graphing functions whatever is inside the paranthesis, square root or absolute value determines whether you go left or right, if its a negative you go to the right, if its positive you go to the left. So the opposite of what you would expect it to go

in this instance its - 5, so you go 5 units to the right

and the number outside determines if you go up or down, in this question its - 4 so you go down 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle E is congruent to angle C, so is the value required to make the sum of angles in triangle ABC be 180°.

  ∠E = 180° -118° -30° = 32°

The value of x is 32.

A population of 130,000 grows 4% per year for 16 years.
alexgriva [62]

Let's consider the scenario after each year:

After the zeroth year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)⁰

After the first year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)¹

After the second year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)²

...

Thus, we can find the general rule:

After the nth year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)ⁿ

And after the 16th year, the population is 120 000(1 + 0.04)¹⁶ = 224 758 (rounded to nearest whole number)
