Maricella’s strategy is incorrect as the values added on the left and right side of the equation changes the original equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1  to  4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3.

Further explanation:

Maricella begin by adding -4+4 on the left side of the equation and 1+1 on the right side of the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1.

The value added on the left is equal to zero so it does not change the equation but the value added on the right is 2, a non-zero digit so it changes the equation as shown below.

4x-2(3x-4)+4-4+4=-x+3(x+1)+1+1+1\\4x-2(3x-4)+4+0=-x+3(x+1)+1+2\\4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3

Therefore, the strategy used by Maricella will change the equation and so the solution of the equation will be incorrect.

One way of solving such a linear equation is by adding or subtracting the required value on each side of the equation. and then simplifying the further equation.

Similarly, the other way to solve any linear equation is by separating the variable terms on one side of the equation and constant terms on the other side of the equation.

After this simplify the linear equation to obtain the solution of the equation for x.

Whereas Maricella’s strategy fails to solve the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1 since the values added and subtracted in the equation changes the original equation completely.

43 can fit into 93 two whole times.

After that, there's only room for another 7 inside the 93,
so there's no way to stuff the whole 43 in there again.

Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible cho
yaroslaw [1]

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

2. A bag contains 25 paise coins and 50 paise Coins. The number of 25 paise coins is 6 times that of so paise Coins The total va
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
<h2>~<u>Solution</u> :-</h2>

Here, it is given that the bag contains 25 paise coins and 50 paise coins in which, 25 paise coins are 6 times than that of 50 paise coins. Also, the total money in the bag is Rs. 6.

  • Hence, we can see that, here, we have been given the linear equation be;

Let the number of coins of 50 paise will be $ x $ and the number of coins of 25 paise will be $ 6x $ as given. . .

Hence,

x + 6x = 6

7x = 6

x =  \frac{6}{7}  \\

x = 1.1666667 \approx \: 2

  • Hence, the number of 50 paise coins will be <u>2</u>. And, 6 times of two be;

6(2)

  • Hence, the number of 25 paise coins will be <u>12</u>.

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 505 what is the third number in the sequence
saw5 [17]
5 consecutive integers : x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 505
5x + 10 = 505
5x = 505 - 10
5x = 495
x = 495/5
x = 99

x + 1 = 99 + 1 = 100
x + 2 = 99 + 2 = 101 <=== 3rd number is 101
x + 3 = 99 + 3 = 102
x + 4 = 99 + 4 = 103
