Charlie's utility function is U(A, B) = AB, where A and B are the numbers of apples and bananas, respectively, that he consumes.

When Charlie is consuming 20 apples and 80 bananas, if we put apples on the horizontal axis and bananas on the vertical axis, the slope of his indifference curve at his current consumption is:____________a. -8.b. -1/4.c. -20.d. -4.e. -1/8.

Answer:

D. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the slope of his indifference curve at his current consumption is expressed as:

M = -∆y/∆x

∆y is the change in y axis

∆x is the change in x axis

Since apples are put in the horizontal axis, ∆x = 20

Since banana are on the y axis, then ∆y = 80

Substituting the given values into the formula

M = -80/20

M = -8/2

M = -4

Hence the slope of his indifference curve at his current consumption is -4.

Option D is correct.

Can anyone help me with this page i can’t find the answers
Dvinal [7]

1) f(x)=2x

when x=3 then f(x) =3×2=<em><u>6</u></em>

when x=4 then f(x)=4×2=<em><u>8</u></em>

2)At y=35(no. of mangoes),x corresponds to y=60(amount)

so$<em><u>6</u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>amount</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>he</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>need</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>spend</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>

3) f(x)= x+2

for x=1, f(x)=1+2=<em><u>3</u></em>

for x=2,f(x)=2+2=<em><u>4</u></em>

Find the surface area plz
vladimir1956 [14]
Hi again! ;)

If we want to find the surface area of a cube, we need to find the area of one surface first, and then multiply that by 9, since there are 9 sides/surfaces on a cube.

Since each side of a square is the same, we first find the area of one surface:

9 × 9 = 81

Then, to find the surface area, we multiply 81 by 6:

81 × 6 = 486

The surface area is
486 \:  {in}^{2}
