<h3>Answer: 12 inches</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Notice the double tickmarks on segments WZ and ZY. This tells us the two segments are the same length. Let's say they are m units long, where m is a placeholder for a positive number.

That would mean m+m = 2m represents the length of segment WY, but that's equal to 10 as the diagram shows. We have 2m = 10 lead to m = 5 after dividing both sides by 2.

We've shown that WZ and ZY are 5 units long each. In short, we just cut that length of 10 in half.

-----------------------------------

Let's focus on triangle XYZ. This is a right triangle with legs XZ = unknown and ZY = 5. The hypotenuse is XY = 13.

We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find XZ

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(XZ)^2 + (ZY)^2 = (XY)^2

(XZ)^2 + (5)^2 = (13)^2

(XZ)^2 + 25 = 169

(XZ)^2 = 169-25

(XZ)^2 = 144

XZ = sqrt(144)

XZ = 12

Segment XZ is 12 inches long.

I need help with this logic puzzle,

natka813 [3]

I cannot reach a meaningful solution from the given information. To prove that S was always true, you would have to prove that N was always false. To prove that N was always false you would have to prove that L was always false. For the statement (L ^ T) -> K to be true, you only need K to be true, so L can be either true or false.
Therefore, because of the aforementioned knowledge, I do not believe that you can prove S to be true.

Suppose that a monopolist

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The monopolist's net profit function would be:

$N(y)=198\,y\,-\,2.5\,y^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that perfect price discrimination means that the monopolist would be able to get the maximum price that consumers are willing to pay for his products.

Therefore, if the demand curve is given by the function:

$P(y)=200-2y$

P stands for the price the consumers are willing to pay for the commodity and "y" stands for the quantity of units demanded at that price.

Then, the total income function (I) for the monopolist would be the product of the price the customers are willing to pay (that is function P) times the number of units that are sold at that price (y):

$I(y)=y*P(y)\\I(y)=y\,(200-2y)\\I(y)= 200y-2y^2$

Therefore, the net profit (N) for the monopolist would be the difference between the Income and Cost functions (Income minus Cost):

$N(y)=I(y)-C(y)\\N(y)=(200\,y-2y^2)-(2y+0.5y^2)\\N(y)=198\,y\,-\,2.5\,y^2$
