Answer:

The value of the stock can be found by: x × 1.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the stock in year one can be found by multiplying x by 1.4. This will represent a 40% increase in value. The following year, the stock decreases in value by 10%; this is represented by multiplication by 0.9. For example, if the value of the stock was $5:

5 × 1.4 = 7                    (A 40% increase in value)

(5 × 1.4) * 0.90 = 6.3   (A further 10% decrease in value)

Rather than writing out the long version, we can simplfify by multiplying 1.4 by 0.9 to get 1.26 .We can also replace 5 with x to get a more general equation.

Solve for v -17= 3v - 2 simplify your answer as much as possible
Alika [10]

Answer:

v = -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 3v from both sides.

v-17 − 3v = 3v−2 −3v

−2v−17=−2

Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.

−2v−17+17=−2+17

−2v=15

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

-2v/2 = 15/2

v = -15/2

v = -7.5

Hope this helps!

A^2(64a^2-3)/3=27-4a^2/4
frutty [35]
The answer is a = 3/4 = 0.75

First get rid of the paranthesis,
{a}^{2} (64 {a}^{2}  - 3) = 64 {a}^{4} -  3 {a}^{2}
Then set the denominators equal:
\frac{ 256 {a}^{4}  - 12 {a}^{2}}{12}  =  \frac{81 - 12 {a}^{2} }{12}
Then remove the denominators and solve:
256 {a}^{4}  - 12 {a}^{2}  = 81 - 12 {a}^{2}
Eliminate -12a^2 by adding 12a^2 to both sides:
256 {a}^{4}  = 81
Take the fourth root of them or take the square root twice:
\sqrt[4]{256 {a}^{4} }  =  \sqrt[4]{81}   \\  4a = 3
Divide both sides by 4:
a =  \frac{3}{4}  = 0.75
