your friend rita sells live bamboo trees. she's willing to supply 100 5-gallon buckets of bamboo trees for 80 dollars a bucket,

and she's willing to supply 200 at that price. what is the mathematical value of rita's price elasticity of supply and how would you categorize her supply elasticity?

Answer:

E_s = 0.9

It's inelastic

Explanation:

Formula for elasticity of supply is;

E_s = % change in quantity supplied/% change in price

The percentage will cancel out so, we are left with;

E_s = change in quantity supplied/ change in price

Change in quantity supplied = (200 - 100)/((200 + 100)/2) = 3/5

Price for 100 buckets = 100 × 80 =$8000

Price for 200 buckets = 200 × 80 = $16000

Change in price = (16000 - 8000)/((8000 + 16000)/2) = 2/3

Thus:

E_s = (3/5) ÷ (2/3)

E_s = 0.9

Now, this price elasticity supply value is less than 1. Thus, it can be categorized as being inelastic.

Answer:

O A. frequency.

Explanation:

Intensity is how stressful the thing is while duration is how long it lasts. Stress is just what it is, and frequency is how often it repeats itself, that is, the rate at which it repeats. Every time it repeats it has its intensity and duration.

The fusion of two deuterium nuclei requires extreme temperatures and _____. radioactive fuel cold water high pressure
inysia [295]
The answer is high pressure. In a nuclear reaction process, high temperature and high pressure is required for turning hydrogen nuclei into a helium nucleus. It is impossible for it to happen simultaneously because it requires tremendous amounts of energy. Extreme conditions are required for the atoms to overcome electrostatic repulsion.

8.4.11: Take a Thing Out, Sort It and Reverse It
Tom [10]

The remove_sort_reverse function takes a list, removes all "s" in the list elements, sorts and then reverses the remaining elements

<h3>The actual program</h3>

The program in Python, where comments are used to explain each line is as follows:

#This defines the function

def remove_sort_reverse(myList):

   #This iterates through the list

   for i in range(len(myList)):

       #This removes all the s in the list elements

       myList[i] = myList[i].replace("s","")

   #This sorts and reverses the list elements

   myList.sort(reverse=True)

   #This returns the updated list

   return(myList)
