Hi
Please can some one tell me how you know which product to put on which axis, is there a rule for what goes to the x axis and which one to y as it seems to not stay consistent in the bpp revision book ? And I don’t want to get the optional point or feasible region incorrect
Thank you
Mo
May 12, 2014 at 3:25 pm #168498It think it really doesnt matter what product is taken on what axis
May 18, 2014 at 1:12 am #169260Thank you – mr Moffat is this correct, it doesn’t matter which axis?
May 19, 2014 at 10:59 am #169462In linear Relationship (y=a+bx)
Y – is a dependent variable, depending on its values on X.
X – is independent veritable, whose values help to determine value of Y.May 19, 2014 at 9:13 pm #169564Hi thanks for that but I don’t see how I still know which one to put on axsis and which on y as if there is two products which seem to have same details but different quantities etc which is the dependant one and which is independent variable – I meant which product out of two goes on which axsis – I can’t see (maybe being thick) any difference that would suggest one was independent and one wasn’t ? Thank you
May 19, 2014 at 9:28 pm #169567@Mo why dont you solve the question both ways and see if there is a difference in the answer that will clear the confusion i guess
May 19, 2014 at 10:01 pm #169569That is a great idea! Thank you- worryingly I did not think of that myself
May 19, 2014 at 11:04 pm #169574Dont worry everybody’s mind freezes when ACCA Exams are near 😉
May 21, 2014 at 5:59 am #169771if variables x and y are given and only demand or usage restriction is x than take x as horizental ,,,,and if 2 or more restrictions are given than take any point for x and y,,,,,
May 21, 2014 at 6:02 am #169772for feasible area u have to plot right functions like X is less than or equal to or x is greater or equal to,,,if more than 2 restrictions
are givenMay 21, 2014 at 2:11 pm #169918He is right if there are 2 products or materials taking them on any axis doesn’t matter (i just tried it both give same answers) 🙂
May 21, 2014 at 5:43 pm #169961I asked on ask the tutor before you suggested I try both and mr Moffat said it doesn’t matter either Ahmed- think you are going to pass!
May 21, 2014 at 8:26 pm #169987Dont know about that, depends on our luck actually anything can happen!!
May 21, 2014 at 8:44 pm #169990Well lots of goodluck to you, I really appreciate your help- thankyou, how many exams are you doing?
May 21, 2014 at 10:58 pm #1700073 f4,f5 and f9 Really stressful to manage all these
May 21, 2014 at 11:14 pm #170010HI I can imagine it is awful, I only do two at a time – all i can do with work. F4 was much easier than I imagined – I just listened to the lectures over and over and read technical articles – listened to the lecturers advise of don’t write anything but just keep reading so that in time you can predict what is coming next – if that is any help.
good luck- you must spend hours studying having to do three.May 22, 2014 at 12:21 am #170016Yeah sometimes i feel i am high studying overnight 😛 The drug of studies has struck me. F9 is a bit technical otherwise the rest are fine
May 22, 2014 at 12:25 am #170017One last question- how many hours a week do u study and do you work? I can only do 15 hours on each subjct a week – but next week have some days of so can do more
