Suppose the consumption function for a particular country is c(x), where x is national disposable income. Then the marginal propensity to consume is c'(x). Suppose x and c are both measured in billions of dollars and c'(x) = 0.9 +0.3√x. If consumption is 10 billion dollars when x=0, find c(x). Sketch c(x).
