If the long-run average total cost curve of an industry is declining at the point where it intersects the industry demand curve, then we can expect that the industry will be a natural monopoly.
<h3>
What is Natural monopoly?</h3>
This is characterized by high infrastructural costs and other barriers which prevent entry into the market. This gives rise to a very few being involved and usually offers no competition as there is a single seller with unique types of goods and services.
This type of monopoly involves sellers having a big size and able to produce the required output for the consumers. This makes them to be self-sufficient and is characterized by the long-run average total cost curve of an industry declining and intersecting the industry demand curve which is the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

<u>The </u><u>augmented matrix</u><u> for the linear system of equation is used to represent equations in a matrix form and used to perform certain operations in the row of the given matrix</u>.
The system of equation have 3 variables and we can represent it using a 3by3 matrix system.
The system of linear equation are

With the equation above, we can proceed to construct the augmented matrix for this linear system
=
The first equation is represented in the first horizontal row, the second and third equation are represented in the second and third rows respectively.
