Answer:

Hey there!

When we are given what one of our variables is equal to, we can easily solve the system of equations via substitution, which is where we take the variable value, plug it into the other equation, and solve for the other variable.

In this case, we just take our value for y and plug it in for the value for y in the first equation and solve for x.

2(-x+7)=14-2x

-2x+14=14-2x

-2x=-2x

x=x

As we can see, there are infinitely many solutions to this first equation, which means that there is no possible way to solve for y because x has infinitely many solutions, so there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations, because they are both the same line.

I hope this helps! :D

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):

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

Bryce bought a bag of cashews.he served 7/8 pound of cashews at a party. This amount represents 2/3 of the entire bag. The equat

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Ok so for this problem you you divide 2/3 n by 2/3 and 7/8 by 2/3
you get $n= \frac{7}{8} / \frac{2}{3}$
to divide fraction you flip the divider over to find the reciprocal
2/3 > 3/2 also you change the division symbol to the multiplication symbol
the equation now is $n= \frac{7}{8} * \frac{3}{2}$
now you multiply to get 21/16
the answer is 1 5/16 after you simplify it
