Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
Good day May i please receive help with questions 17i) and ii)
Thank you
![17. (i)
In negotiating a sale the seller S f frst asks a price s, to which the
buyer B counters with an offer b(<s,). S then asks
S2 =(s, +b,); and so they proceed, each suggested price or offer
being the average of the last price and offer made. Find the n price,
Sn
asked by S and the nh offer, b,, made by B, and show
that these tend to the same limit (which is the selling price)
tends to infinity.
(ii)
Does it make any difference to the selling price if B takes the
initiative by starting the bidding and, if so, what is the difference?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F571fd517-4967-4afc-865f-b8789e39bb76%2F5bef7471-eb87-4a46-bdfb-0d1e66b9e97b%2Fsi8htb_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
