Which of the following policies would be most effective to control inflation? a) an increase in government spending to shift aggregate demand to the right. b) a decrease in government spending to shift aggregate demand to the left. c) an increase in taxes to shift aggregate supply to the left. d) none of the above would reduce inflation.

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Inflation refers to the situation when there is a continuous and sustained increase in the general price level.  

The government can reduce inflation by either increasing taxes or reducing government spending. The reduction in government spending would cause the aggregate demand to shift to the left. This will cause the price to decline.

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

equating the expression for area to the given area

2x² - 7x - 4 = 45 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 49 = 0 ← in standard form

to factor consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 49 = - 98 and sum = - 7

the factors are - 14 and + 7

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² - 14x + 7x - 49 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 7) + 7(x - 7) = 0 ← factor out (x - 7)

(x - 7)(2x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = -

thus the positive value for x is x = 7
