For the answer to the question above, I'll show the solution to my answer below.

a2 = a1 * r
a2 = 10 * .5 = 5 
a3 = a2 * r 
a3 = 5 * .5 = 2.5 
a4 = a3 * r 
a4 = 2.5 * .5 = 1.25 
So the answer to your problem is
1.25

I hope my answer helped you.

Last year you sold short 400 shares of stock selling at $90.00 per share. Six months later the stock had fallen to $45.00 per

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The selling of the stocks gave a profit of $16,675.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial capital was 400 shares, that were valuated at $90.00. This is $36,000.

Six months after, the price drop to $45.00 per share. The stocks that you sold would be valuated a total of $18,000.

That is a relative profit of $18,000.

Then, we have to substract the dividends that you didn't get and the cost of transaction.

The dividends are two payments of $1.50 per share each. The total amount is 400*1.50*2=$ 1,200.

The cost of transaction is $125.

Then, the net profit from selling is:

P = $18,000 - $1,200 -$125= $16,675

50 Points: Name the similar triangles & Prove the similarity with details

Leno4ka [110]

Let's consider the facts at hand:

By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
∠BEC = ∠DFC
Sides BE = DF

Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar

⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem

⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC

⇒ the two triangles are similar

Hope that helps!

Definitions of Theorem I used:

Vertical Angle Theorem: opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal
Angle-Angle Theorem: if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.25 = 25% probability he will land on A on the first spin and A and the second.

For each spin, there are only two possible outcomes, either it lands on Sector A, or it does not. The results of each spin are independent, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
