Do question number 14 from the Oligopoly and Game Theory chapter. This is the first challenge question (at least for me) and starts out "The French economist Antoine Cournot developed an interesting model of competition....." Picture below. For the graph note that both reaction functions should be on the same graph. This graph should have Firm X quantity on one axis and Firm Y quantity on the other. One curve gives you the quantity of firm X for every given quantity of firm Y and the other curve gives the quantity of firm Y for any given quantity by firm X. In other words, even though they are the same function, there should be two different lines on the graph. Your submission should include the table, the graph and the answer to the question at the end with description. Please try to think carefully about the description. It shouldn't be long but there is a key idea I want to be sure that you get. One sentence should be enough if you get the thing.
