How do we arrive at a Nash equilibrium in a matrix game?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

When the aggregate supply curve intersects the aggregate demand curve at a level of real GDP that exceeds potential GDP, is there an inflationary gap or a deflationary gap? What adjustments will take place?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The key to finding Nash equilibrium in a matrix game is to follow the logic of finding best responses. Once the best response of each player to the strategies of the other player is determined, we need to check if either player has an incentive to change his or her strategy. If each player follows his best responses to the strategies of other players, none of them will have an incentive to change their strategies and thus Nash equilibrium will be reached.

Answer to Question 2

There is an inflationary gap because real GDP exceeds potential GDP. In this situation, the money wage rate will rise, shifting the aggregate supply curve leftward and raising the price level. Eventually the economy will return to potential GDP. At this time, real GDP is lower than when the inflationary gap existed but the price level is higher.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
