Answer:

In math students think that the function just removes negative signs, and actually that is basically what happens...

BUT !!! the definition that you want is that absolute value is a measure of how far (distance) you are from ZERO.... and note that distances are not negative...

If you run out of gas one mile in front of behind a gas station, you have to travel "one mile" you don't walk "negative one mile"...

forward one mile or backward one mile are both "one mile" just in different directions

Maylin goes to her local sporting goods store to buy socks and jogging shorts. Socks cost $10 per pair and jogging shorts cost

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Maylin should purchase one unit of each socks & jogging shorts.

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of two goods, consumer is at equilibrium when marginal utility per dollar spent on last unit of the goods are equal, ie MU 1 / P1 = MU 2 / P2 (MU are the marginal utilities / marginal benefit of two goods, P are the price of two goods)

Given : MU1 (So) = 20, MU2 (JSh) = 30, P1 (So) = 10, P2 (JSh) = 15

So, equilibrium is at where MU1 (So) / P1 (So) = MU2 (JSh) / P2 (Jsh)

20/10 = 2, & 30/15 = 2. MU's per dollar are equal for both.

So Maylin is in equilibrium, she should purchase one unit of each socks & jogging shorts.
