Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible cho

ices, as it must decide whether or not to exit the industry immediately, at the end of this quarter, or at the end of the next quarter. If a firm chooses to exit then its payoff is 0 from that point onward. Each quarter that both firms operate yields each a loss equal to -1, and each quarter that a firm operates alone yields it a payoff of 2. For example, if firm 1 plans to exit at the end of this quarter while firm 2 plans to exit at the end of next quarter then the payoffs are 1,1) because both firms lose -1 in the first quarter and firm 2 gains 2 in the second. The payoff for each firm 1.

b. Are there any strictly dominated strategies? Are there any weakly dominated strategies?

Answer:

a) attached below

b)  ( T,T )

c) The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

d) The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A) write down the game in matrix form

let: E = exit at the industry immediately

     T = exit at the end of the quarter

     N = exit at the end of the next quarter

matrix is attached below

B) weakly dominated strategies is ( T,T )

C) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria

The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

D ) Find the unique mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium

The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 ) since T is weakly dominated then the mixed strategy will be NE

Assume that P is the probability of firm 1 exiting immediately ( E )

and q is the probability of firm 1 staying till next term ( N ) ∴ q = 1 - P.

hence the expected utility of firm 2 choosing E = 0 while the expected utility of choosing N = 4p - 2q .

The expected utilities of E and N to firm 2 =

0 = 4p - 2q = 4p - 2 ( 1-p) = 6p -2 which means : p = 1/3 , q = 2/3

An ancient culture labeled certain numbers as square numbers. The numbers​ 1, 4,​ 9, 16,​ 25, and so on are square numbers. Comp
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The next five sequence based on the information about the square will be 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

From the information, it was stated that an ancient culture labeled certain numbers as square numbers and that the numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, and so on are square numbers.

It should be noted that the number given are squares of 1,2,3...

Therefore, the next five sequence will be:

6 × 6 = 36

7 × 7 = 49

8 × 8 = 64.

9 × 9 = 81

10 × 10 = 100

What is - 1/6 + (-7/4) this is 7th gradr math
DedPeter [7]

Hello Bubbleshi !

The first step you need to do is get everything in like terms.

- 1/6 and - 7 /4

Look at the denominator (number on the bottom)

6 and 4 go into 12, so lets check that out.

-1/6 , how can we get 12 from the denominator? Multiply it by 2.

So you multiply both the numerator (number on the top) and the denominator.

-1/6 becomes -2/12.

With -7/4, you want to get the 4 as a 12 (like terms!) so once again you multiply it by 3, and multiply the numerator as well.


-7/4 becomes -21/12.

-2/12 + (-21/12) is your final form of the problem.

You add -2 and -21 in the numerator, which is -23.

So its -23/12 which is your final answer.

Let me know if you need any more help!

Write the vector u as a sum of two orthogonal vectors, one of which is the vector projection of u onto v, projvu u=(-8,8) , v= (
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

none of the given options is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: u=(-8,8) , v= (-1,2)

To find: vectors w_1,w_2 such that u=w_1+w_2

Solution:

A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

proj_vu=\frac{u\cdot v}{\left | v \right |^2}(v)\\=\frac{(-8,8)\cdot (-1,2)}{(\sqrt{ (-1)^2+2^2})^2}(-1,2)\\=\frac{8+16}{5}(-1,2)\\=\frac{1}{5}(-24,48)\\=(-4.8,9.6)

Let w_1=(-4.8,9.6)

So,

w_2=u-w_1\\=(-8,8)-(-4.8,9.6)\\=(-8+4.8,8-9.6)\\=(-3.2,-1.6)

So, u = (-4.8,9.6)+(-3.2,-1.6)

So, none of the given options is true
