Business leaders in the late nineteenth century utilized vertical integration by maintaining control of production and distribution of their products.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Vertical integration is a competitive strategy that gives the company full control over one or more stages of product production or distribution. Rockefeller tirelessly tried to take full control of business 'oil refinery'. While other business people were flooding the area in search of quick fortune, Rockefeller was thinking of destroying his rivals and creating a real monopoly in the refining industry.
Looking for even more control, Rockefeller saw the benefits of organizing the transportation to his products. Then, he began to develop his business through vertical integration, in which the company analyses all aspects of the product life cycle, from raw material extraction, through the production process, to the final delivery of the product.
Other industrialists quickly followed, including Gustavus Swift, who at the end of the 19th century used vertical integration to dominate the American meat packaging industry.
= 2a - 1
2(
) = 2(2a - 1) <em>multiplied both sides by 2 </em>
ab = 4a - 2 <em>distributed the 2 on the right side</em>
ab - 4a = -2 <em>subtracted 4a from both sides</em>
a(b - 4) = -2 factored out "a" from the left side
a =
<em>divided (b - 4) on both sides</em>
Answer: a =
Answer:
361/900
Step-by-step explanation:

Let
. The tangent plane to the surface at (0, 0, 8) is

The gradient is

so the tangent plane's equation is

The normal vector to the plane at (0, 0, 8) is the same as the gradient of the surface at this point, (1, 1, 1). We can get all points along the line containing this vector by scaling the vector by
, then ensure it passes through (0, 0, 8) by translating the line so that it does. Then the line has parametric equation

or
,
, and
.
(See the attached plot; the given surface is orange, (0, 0, 8) is the black point, the tangent plane is blue, and the red line is the normal at this point)
