Economic Analysis of an oligopoly market structure Supermarkets brew up a crate full of profits 1. Introduction 1a Article Summary Woolworths and Coles continue to extend their dominance in the grocery market and more recently petrol. This has been extended and they are now looking to expand their hold on the Australian market by moving into the liquor industry. Julian Lee (2008) highlights Coles and Woolworths move into the industry‚ by trying to build on their previous acquisitions of liquor

Graphs‚ Groups and Surfaces 1 Introduction In this paper‚ we will discuss the interactions among graphs‚ groups and surfaces. For any given graph‚ we know that there is an automorphism group associated with it. On the other hand‚ for any group‚ we could associate with it a graph representation‚ namely a Cayley graph of presentations of the group. We will first describe such a correspondence. Also‚ a graph is always embeddable in some surface. So we will then focus on properties of graphs

1.2 Basics of Functions and Their Graphs Introduction to Relations Domain and Range of a Relation Any set of ordered pairs (x‚y) is called a relation in x and y. Furthermore‚ The set of first components in the ordered pairs is called the domain of the relation. The set of second components in the ordered pairs is called the range of the relation. Definition of Function and Vertical Line Test Definition of a Function Given a relation in x and y‚ we say “y is a function of x” if for every

------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Speed Speed is defined as a measure of the distance an object travels in a given length of time. The average speed of an object can be determined from the equation below: Thus‚ if a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds its average speed can be calculated as; Average speed = 100/5 = 20 meters per second Average speed is used to give the speed of an object over a given interval of time‚ if

Distance Time Graphs Definitions * Speed: Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. * Velocity: Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." When evaluating the velocity of an object‚ one must keep track of direction. It would not

The usage of graphs are essential in the illustration and comprehension of statistical output. They type of graphs used depends on the author and the view they are trying to portrait. Graphs can be used to prove or disprove a theory based on its presentation. The Following graph is used as a visually depiction of a sample of grade school childern of whom an IQ exam was performed.

When about 20 fish is reached‚ stop recording and put all the data into a line graph. Using a line graph will help see any patterns between dissolved oxygen and number of fish. 4.
