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.

What is the y-intercept of the liner function? (y=3x-2)
inysia [295]

The y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2

<h3>How to determine the y-intercept?</h3>

The function is given as

y = 3x - 2

The above function is a linear function, and the y-intercept is the point on the graph, where x = 0 i.e. the point (0, y)

As a general rule, linear functions are those functions that have constant rates or slopes

Next, we set x to 0, and calculate y to determine the value of the y-intercept

y = 3(0) - 2

Remove the bracket in the above equation

y = 3 * 0 - 2

Evaluate the product of 3 and 0 i.e. multiply 3 and 0

y = 0 - 2

Evaluate the difference of 0 and -2 i.e. subtract 0 from 2

y = -2

The above means that the value of y when x is 0 is -2

Hence, the y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2

Quadrilateral ABCD is a square.<br> BC = 10<br> What is the length of AC?
aliya0001 [1]
All four sides of a square are equal.

So if BC is 10, then AC is also 10.
