1.) Each assumption leads to different aspects of the battle to achieve higher arms. Assumption A wants to increase the level of arms to a proportion of the arms level of the other country. To do this, you want to take the rate of growth of the other country and multiply this by a proportional constant. The opposite country does the same due to them wanting to keep pace with their opposing foe. Assumption B wants …

…how far the two points (s.a. X(1)<d< X(2)) will increase or decrease. a1 and a2 are equal just as they are in problem (b). a1 and a2 determine the zigzag pattern where the signs of c and d determine whether the slopes begin positive or negative. 5.) The critical point is where the graph changes slope from positive or negative slope. This will show each country's demands, such as budgetary and competitive rate demands.
