These firms cannot discriminate, so there is just one price that is determined by the aggregate demand. The inverse demand equation is P(Q) = 600 – 0 Where total supply Q-q1+92. (e) Use your best response equations to mathematically solve for the equilibrium quantities qi 9, Q". equilibrium price...
