Answer to Question 1

As shown in the following figure, the total revenue curve takes on a hump-back shape because it increases when marginal revenue is positive and decreases when marginal revenue is negative. For this reason, total revenue is at its maximum when the marginal revenue curve crosses the x-axis  that is the point where an additional unit of output causes marginal revenue to equal zero.

Answer to Question 2

If just one player has a dominant strategy, the other player knows that the dominant strategy will be chosen and can plan accordingly. When looking for a quick solution players should check for a dominant strategy themselves first and lacking one, should then check for a dominant strategy for their opponents.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
