D_max is given by:  D_max = Pab(a+2b)√(3a(a+2b)) 27EI where: a = 0.5 : 1.5 : 8 b = 8 – a E = 0.2 I = 1.5 P = 0.425 Which of the following is the correct MATLAB assignment to calculate D_max?

Suppose the absolute price of good X is $10 and the absolute price of good Y is $5. A tax is placed on the purchase of good Y only and not another good X. The tax effectively raises the consumer’s pay for good Y from $5 to $10. Now, the relative price of one unit of good Y is ________ units of a good X.  *Hint: therefore, the tax makes good Y relatively more expensive and makes good X relatively cheaper.
