What can a firm do to increase productivity in the short run once its marginal product is zero?

1 answer:

Tems11 [23]2 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Decrease the quantity of the input

Step-by-step explanation:

The general assumption is that productivity is a curve that is concave downward, Hence marginal product is decreasing until it reaches zero. The way to increase it is to reduce the input quantity to a value below the point where the curve reaches zero marginal product.

Find x so that x, X +2, X'+3 are the first three terms of a geometric sequence. Then find the 5" term of the

velikii [3]

Answer:

The fifth term is -1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the first three terms of the geometric sequence is <em>x, x</em> + 2, and <em>x </em>+ 3.

So, our first term is <em>x</em>.

Then our second term will be our first term multiplied by the common ratio <em>r</em>. So:

$x+2=xr$

And our third term will be our first term multiplied by the common ratio <em>r</em> twice. Therefore:

$x+3=xr^2$

Solve for <em>x</em>. From the second term, we can divide both sides by <em>x: </em>

$\displaystyle r=\frac{x+2}{x}$

Substitute this into the third equation:

$\displaystyle x+3=x\Big(\frac{x+2}{x}\Big)^2$

Square:

$\displaystyle x+3 = x\Big( \frac{(x+2)^2}{x^2} \Big)$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle x+3=\frac{(x+2)^2}{x}$

We can multiply both sides by <em>x: </em>

$x(x+3)=(x+2)^2$

Expand:

$x^2+3x=x^2+4x+4$

Isolate the <em>x: </em>

$-x=4$

Hence, our first term is:

$x=-4$

Then our common ratio <em>r</em> is:

$\displaystyle r=\frac{(-4)+2}{-4}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

So, our first term is -4 and our common ratio is 1/2.

Then our sequence will be -4, -2, -1, -1/2, -1/4.

You can verify that the first three terms indeed follow the pattern of <em>x</em>, <em>x</em> + 2, and <em>x</em> + 3.

So, our fifth term is -1/4.

Carly tried to solve an equation step by step. 7a=28 Step 1: 7a/a = 28/7 Step 2: 7 = 4 Find Carly's mistake A: Step 1 B: Step 2

Murrr4er [49]

This are the right steps

Step 1: first you divide the both size by 7 because there is 7 a's

7a/7 = 28/7

Step 2: You solve the equation

7a/7= a. 28/7 = 4

So, the answer is a = 4

not 7 = 4
