Consider firm 1 decides its quantity x1 first and firms 2 follows after observing x1. The demand function of the market is x(p) = 100 - 0.1p and the cost function for both firms are c(x) = FC + 5x2

a. Suppose first that FC = 0. Derive firm 2's best response function to observing firm 1's output level x1.
