Transcribed Image Text:1. In some coastal town, operating a fishing boat costs $2,000 per month. Suppose that if x boats
operate in the bay, the total monthly revenue from the boats is $1,000(10x - x²). If there are no
restrictions on entry, and if new boats come into the bay until there is zero profit to be made by
a new entrant, then the number of boats that enter will be B₁. If the number of boats that operate
in the bay is regulated to maximize total profits in the said town, the number of boats in the bay
will be B₂.

Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years. In this part, you will draw two pie graphs. A pie graph is used to show how a certain quantity has been divided into several parts, as well as to show the comparisons among these parts. 1. The data table below shows the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2013, in million metric tons of CO2. On the pie graph provided, complete the graph to show the percent of greenhouse gas emissions for each economic sector. Label each section of the pie graph with its economic sector.
