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.

Answer:

<h2>Q4. (-7)</h2><h2>Q5. (-8)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The perfect square:

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Q4

We have

y^2+14y+49=0\\\\y^2+2(y)(7)+7^2=0\\\\(y+7)^2=0\iff y+7=0\qquad\text{subtract 7 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-7}

Q5

We have

y^2+16y+64=0\\\\y^2+2(y)(8)+8^2=0\\\\(y+8)^2=0\iff y+8=0\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=-8}

A coin is rigged so that the probability of tossing a head is 0.61. The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

X\sim Geo (1-p)

Solution to the problem

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)

Which equation defines the graph of y=x^2 after it is shifted vertically 3 units down and horizontally 5 units left? A) y=(x-5)^
jeka94
The answers is B because you set x+5=0 and x=-5 so that means that the graph needs to be shifted 5 units to the left because 5 is negative and to move 3 units down you just put a -3 at the end of the equation like this y=(x+5)-3
