Answer:

See explanation to get answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

As per the data and information given in the question, there are three Bidders, one each on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Bidder 1 may bid on Monday either for $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 with probabilities 0.5 each

Therefore expected pay-off for Bidder 1 is $2,500,000 (2,000,000*.52 + 3,000,000*.5)

Bidder 2 may bid on Tuesday either for $2,000,000 with probability 0.9 or $4,000,000 with probability 0.1

Therefore expected pay-off for Bidder 2 is $2,200,000 (2,000,000*.9 + 4,000,000*.1)

Bidder 3 may bid on Wednesday either for $1,000,000 with probability 0.7 or for $4,000,000 with probability 0.3

Therefore expected pay-off for Bidder 3 is $1,900,000 (1,000,000*.7 + 4,000,000*.3)

Based on the comparison of the above mentioned calculations for the expected pay-off for the bidders, it is recommended that the optimal decision strategy among the bidders is to go for Bidder 1 with highest expected pay-off of $2,500,000 and accept the bid of Bidder 1.

Risk profile for the optimal solution is $2,000,000 with probability 0.5 and $3,000,000 with probability 0.5

Bid may be for $4,000,000 with probability of 0.1 by Bidder 2 or with probability 0.3 by Bidder 3

Let L be a tangent line to the hyperbola x y = 2 at x = 9 . Find the area of the triangle bounded by L and the coordinate axes.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the slope of the tangent line L is obtained by deriving the equation of the hyperbola:

y = \frac{2}{x}

y'=-2\cdot x^{-2}

The numerical value of the slope is:

y' = -2 \cdot (9)^{-2}\\y' = -\frac{2}{81}

The component of the y-axis is:

y = \frac{2}{9}

Now, the tangent line has the following mathematical model:

y = m \cdot x + b

The value of the intercept is found by isolating it within the equation and replacing all known variables:

b = y - m \cdot x

b = \frac{2}{9}-(-\frac{2}{81} )\cdot (9)\\b = \frac{4}{9}

Thus, the tangent line is:

y = -\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}

The vertical distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin is given by the intercept.

d_{y} = \frac{4}{9}

In order to find horizontal distance between a point of the tangent line and the origin, let equalize y to zero and clear x:

-\frac{2}{81}\cdot x + \frac{4}{9}=0

-\frac{2}{9}\cdot x + 4 = 0

x = 18

d_{x} = 18

The area of the triangle is computed by this formula:

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot d_{x}\cdot d_{y}

A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (18)\cdot (\frac{4}{9} )

A = 4

with that template in mind,

\bf f(x)=x^2\qquad \quad f(x+2)=(x+2)^2\implies f(x+2)=\stackrel{A}{1}(\stackrel{B}{1}x\stackrel{C}{+2})^2\stackrel{D}{+0}

C = 2         B = 1        C/B = 2/1 or +2,    horizontal left shift of 2 units

f(x) shifted left by 2 units is f(x+2).
