Answer:

The best answer to the question: Who would aregue that Donald weighed the potential costs and benefits of shooting the victim and decided to pull the trigger as a result of free will, would be, D: A rational choice theorist.

Explanation:

Rational choice theory is a perspective that helps to understand human behavior and the choices that a person, or a group, makes, in light of the options, and preferences, that that person has, given a certain situation. As such, anyone who applies this perspective will take a given circumstance and look at all the possible options available to correctly form a reaction to it, including weighing all the consequences, the benefits and the potential costs of making such a choice. In light of this perspective, Donald was faced by a difficult circumstance in which his life was on the line. Measuring all the possibilities, and overseeing the possible outcomes, Donald makes the choice, even if under duress, to pull out the gun and shoot his partner, instead of simply running away. In light of the rational choice theory, Donald made the choice of his preference after weighing all the possibilities.

Answer:

45 km/hr

Explanation:

total distance = 90

Increased speed = x+15

90/x - 90/x+15=1/2

90(1/x - 1/x+15)=1/2

90(x+15-x/x^2+15x)=1/2

equation is:

x^2+15x-2700=0

x^2+60x-45x-2700=0

x(x+60)-45(x+60)=0

(x+60)(x-45)=0

x= -60, x=45

reject the negative value = -60

usual speed=45 km/ hr

Market demand schedules help consumers decide how much of an item to produce. TRUE FALSE
Inessa [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The production of an item is not going through the consumers, but instead through the producers. The consumers are the ones that buy the products, while the producers are the ones that produce the products. In order to know how much should they produce, the producers rely on the market demand schedules. Through them, the producers are aware of how much is demanded, so that they can produce the right amount, and not come in a situation to have less products on the market, or too much products on the market.
