The question is:

In each of the following examples, a consumer purchases just two goods: x and y. Based on the information in each of the following parts, sketch a plausible set of indifference curves (that is, draw at least two curves on a set of labeled axes, and indicate the direction of higher utility). Also, writedown a utility function u(x, y) consistent with your graph. Note that although all these preferences should be assumed to be complete and transitive (as required for utility representation), not all will be monotone.

(a) Jessica enjoys bagels x and coffee y, and consuming more of one makes consuming the other more enjoyable.

(b) Plamen loves mocha swirl ice cream x, but he hates mushrooms y.

(c) Jennifer likes Cheerios x, and neither likes nor dislikes Frosted Flakes y.

(d) Edward always buys three white tank tops x for every pair of jeans y.

(e) Nancy likes both peanut butter x and jelly y, and always gets the same additional satisfaction from an ounce of peanut butter as she does from two ounces of jelly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The utility functions consistent with the graphs are:

(a) u(x, y) = xy

(b) u(x, y) = x - y

(c) u(x, y) = x

(d) u(x, y) = min(x, 3y)

See attachments for the graphs.

What is the equation of a line that passes through points (2,0) and (6,-4)
romanna [79]

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line

Step 1: find the slope

We are given two points

( 2 , 0) ( 6 , -4)

m = (y_2 - y_1 )/ (x_2 - x_1)

x_1 = 2

y_1 = 0

x_2 = 6

y_2 = -4

Insert the values

m = ( -4 - 0) / ( 6 - 2)

m = -4 / 4

m = -1

Step 2 : substitute m into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation

Let's pick ( 6 , -4)

x = 6

y = -4

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

-4 = -1(6) + c

-4 = -6 + c

c = -4 + 6

c = 2

Step 4: substitute c = 2 into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -x + c

y = -x + 2

An electronics store makes a profit of $72 for every television sold and $90 for every computer sold. The manager’s target is to
enyata [817]

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of television sold

and y be the number of computer sold

An electronics store makes a profit of $72 for every television sold and $90 for every computer sold.

Profit for x television is 72x

Profit of y computer is  90y

Total profit is 72x+90y

sales profit is atleast 360

so inequality becomes 72x+90y >360

graph is attached below

(5,2) lies on the shaded part, so (5,2) is our solution

(3,3) lies on the shaded part, so (3,3) is our solution

(1,4) lies on the shaded part, so (1,4) is our solution

(4,0) (2,2) (1,1) and (1,0) does not lies on the shaded part

So option A is correct

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST<br><br><br> Write 2/7x(1.4x^2-3.5y) as a polynomial
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The expression (2/7)x (1.4x² - 3.5y) can be written in the form of a polynomial as 0.4x³ - xy.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial is an algebraic expression that consists of variables and coefficients. Variables are called unknown. We can apply arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, etc. But not divisible by variable.

The expression is given below

\rm \dfrac{2x}{7} \times (1.4x^2-3.5y)

The expression can be written in the form of the polynomial

\rightarrow \rm \dfrac{2x}{7} \times (1.4x^2-3.5y)\\\\\\\rightarrow \rm \dfrac{2x \times 1.4x^2}{7} - \dfrac{3.5y\times 2x}{7 }\\\\\\\rightarrow \dfrac{2.8x^3}{7} - \dfrac{7xy}{7 }\\\\\\\rightarrow 0.4x^3 - xy

The expression in the form of a polynomial is given as

\rm \rightarrow 0.4x^3 - xy

More about the polynomial link is given below.
