Consider two countries, A and B, whose respective industries produce goods A and B. Total world output of the good is given by Q

= 9A + 9B. There is a world demand given by P = 100 – Q. Suppose that the cost function for country A is given by cA (CA) = 89 A while the cost function in country B is given by CB(9B) = 398. The production of the good generates greenhouse gas emissions which cause global climate change. Total world emissions are 0.5 per unit of good, such that total world emissions are 0.5Q. If the two countries' industries compete in a Cournot fashion, what will the total world emissions be? Now suppose country A imposes a tax on A's production of A to curb emissions. Country B, however, is not taxed. A's cost function is now CA(CA) = 492A, while B's cost function is CB(9B) = 493. World demand is P = 99 – Q. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit is still 0.5, such that total world emissions are given by 0.5Q.
What are total world emissions after country A enacts a carbon tax?

Answer: hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question

answer :

a) 31.5

b) 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total world output of good given ( Q ) = qA + qB

world demand ( P ) = 100 - Q

cost function for country A = cA (qA) = 8qA

cost function of country B = cB(qB) = 3qB

total world emission = 0.5Q

emission per unit good = 0.5

<u>a) Determine total world emissions when both countries compete in a Cournot fashion</u>

Q = 63

therefore Total world emission = 0.5 ( Q )

                                                    = 0.5 ( 63 ) = 31.5

attached below is the detailed solution

<u>b) Determine the total world emissions after Country A enacts a carbon tax</u>

Q = 49

Therefore Total world emission after tax = 0.5 ( Q )

                                                                    = 0.5 ( 49 ) = 24.5

attached below is the detailed solution

Prove algebraically what type of function this is (even, odd, or neither).<br>f(x) = x^6 – x^4​
Savatey [412]

Let's see.

We have function f(x)=x^6-x^4. We have to determine if the function is even or odd or neither.

We can find this out in many ways but the assignment specifically asks to prove this algebraically.

Function is even if f(x)=f(-x), so, x^6-x^4=(-x)^6-(-x)^4

Which is true since negative raised to an even power is positive to that same number.

Similarly, function is odd if f(x)=-f(-x), that is,

x^6-x^4\neq-((-x)^6-(-x)^4).

So we have prooved that function f(x) is an even function not an odd function and therefore also not neither.

Hope this helps.

An illusionist needs up to 10 volunteers for a show. The illusionist needs no fewer than 4 female volunteers. Let x represent th
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

FIRST OPTION.

THIRD OPTION.

FIFTH OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of of female volunteers and "y" the number of male volunteers.

You need to remember the meaning of the inequalities symbols:

: Less than.

> : Greater than.

\leq : Less than or equal to.

\geq : Greater than or equal to.

In this case you know that the illusionist needs up to 10 volunteers, which indicates that the total number of volunteers can be less than or equal to 10 people. The inequality that represents this is:

x+y\leq 10

According to the exercise, the illusionist needs no fewer than 4 female volunteers. This means that number of female volunteer must be greater than or equal to 4:

x\geq 4

Since the number of female volunteers could be 10 (Because can be greater than 4), it could not be male volunteers. This means that:

y\geq 0

Do you guys know what this is
Natalka [10]

Set up a proportional fraction relating RSV and RTU. Before doing that, sort out what RT is equal to;

RT =20 + 28 =48

Now, we can equate SR/SV with RT/TU. This is something we can do because they are similar, and therefore should have equal ratios between sides.

\frac{20}{3x-2} =\frac{48}{7x-3}

Cross multiply them, and solve for x.

20(7x-3)=48(3x-2)\\140x-60=144x-96\\-4x=-36\\x=9

That being said, the little cutout at the top left claims the answer is 8. If you verify my answer, it works out.
