1. Suppose two linear demand curves D1 and D2 have the same
vertical intercept and D1 is steeper than D2:
i. At any given P, which demand is more elastic?
ii. At any given Q, which demand is more elastic?
2 Suppose two linear demand curves D1 and D2 are parallel to
each other and D1 is higher than D2:
i. At any given P, which demand is more elastic?
ii. At any given Q, which demand is more elastic?...

i) Show how you would create two dummy variables,
d1 and d2, for when a person started smoking,
if we wanted never smokers to be the referent level.
D1={ 1; if smoking as an adult, 0; if
otherwise
D2={ 1; if smoking as a child, 0; if
otherwise
ii) Using the dummy variables from part (i), suppose you decide
to do the analysis using a multiple regression model:

Two parallel, coaxial circular disks 1 and 2, each of area 21.8
cm^2, are separated by a small distance 0.8 mm. The disks 1 and 2
are charged uniformly with charge -4 nC and 1 nC, respectively. How
much work is required for an external force to move a proton
located between and far from the edges of the disks very slowly
from a point very close to disk 1 to one very close to disk 2?

1, Let f be a function such that f′′(x) =x(x+ 1)(x−2)^2. Find
the open intervals on which is concave up/down.
2. An inflection point is an x-value at which the concavity of a
function changes. For example, if f is concave up to the left of
x=c and f is concave down to the right of x=c, then x=c is an
inflection point. Find all inflection points in the function from
Problem 1.
