Explanation Given Information: The consumption is $3 billion when disposable income is $0 billion and if the marginal propensity to save is d S d y = 0.2 + e − 1.5 y . Formula used: The power rule of integration is; The integration of function f ( x ) = x n is given by; ∫ x n d x = x n + 1 n + 1 + c n ≠ − 1 The integration of function f ( x ) = e a x is given by; ∫ e a x d x = e a x a + c Here c is any arbitrary constant. The sum rule is; ∫ f ( x ) ± g ( x ) d x = ∫ f ( x ) d x ± ∫ g ( x ) d x Calculation: Consider the marginal propensity to save is; d S d y = 0.2 + e − 1.5 y And the marginal propensity to save is 1 minus the marginal propensity to consume, d S d y = 1 − d C d y d C d y = 1 − d S d y = 1 − ( 0.2 + e − 1.5 y ) = 0.8 − e − 1.5 y And the consumption is $3 billion when disposable income is $0 so; d C d y = 0.8 − e − 1.5 y d C = ( 0.8 − e − 1

Minimization

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Please solve the following Probability Problem, please show all work and solve what is asked: HW 1.w. (Special game)The atmosphere has heated up and a fight erupted! There are n + 1players and somebody threw the first punch. Once a person is punched,they punch another person in the group at random. What are the oddsthat after m iterations:a) Nobody punches the person who started it?b) Nobody gets punched twice?Now take it up a notch: imagine the first person punched N other peopleat random, and once someone gets punched, they punch another N peoplein the group at random, and so on. Again, what are the odds that afterm iterations:a) Nobody punches the person who started it?b) Nobody gets punched twice?

Q1. A chest of drawers has 3 drawers. Each drawer has 2 boxes. The boxes of one drawer contain a silver coin in each respectively, the boxes of another a gold coin in each box, and the boxes of the third drawer a gold and a silver coin, respectively. A drawer is selected at random and a box from the drawer is selected at random and opened. The coin is found to be silver. What is the probability that the coin in the other box is gold?
