Phillip Esten operates a mail store in which he offers various services such as packaging items for shipment, delivering items to overnight services, and a fax machine. Esten has been charging $2.00 per page for the fax service, but a new store has opened in a nearby shopping center that is charging $1.00 per page. Esten lowers his price to $.50 per page, knowing this charge will not always cover his cost. Esten's actions:

constitute meeting the competition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Philip Esten action from the above scenario tries to meet up with the new competition he is encountering.

He operates a mail store where he renders services such as delivering of item overnight, and charging of fax service with each page for a fee of $2.00 for clients. He has a competition in the business environment where he now has direct competitors who offers the same service and product type to clients.

In this case, his competitors tend to attract more customers, both new and Esten old customers, because his competitors are rendering the same services at a cheaper fee to build a better brand of product / services for the store and buying the trust of customers now and for the future.

Esten with the knowledge of how business competition an works, reduces his price of charge to $.50 to attract more people or customers back to his store and tries to drive off the  competitors, knowing quite well that this charges will not cover his cost .

step-by-step explanation:

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
