Given that question: Shyam invested money in the stock market. In the first
year, his stock increased 20%. He paid his stock broker $300 and then lost
$450. He withdrew $500, and then his remaining investment doubled. Shyam’s investment is now worth $7100. How much was Shyam’s original investment?
The solution is as follows:
Let the amount Shyam invested in the stock market be x, then in the first year his stock increased by 20% giving 1.2x.
He paid his stockbrocker $300 to have 1.2x - $300 left, and he lost $450 to have 1.2x - $300 - $450 = 1.2x - $750 left.
He withdrew $500 to have 1.2x - $750 - $500 = 1.2x - $1,250 left.
His remaining investment doubled to have 2(1.2x - $1,250) = 2.4x - $2,500
Shyam's investment is now worth $7,100 which means that
2.4x - $2,500 = $7,100
2.4x = $7,100 + $2,500 = $9,600
x = $9,600 / 2.4 = $4,000
Therefore, the value of Shyam's original investment is $4,000
Answer D <<<<
You are correct
Answer:
The require value for s is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the expression x² + sx + 144 and we have to make it a square of a binomial.
Hence, we have to find the value of s for this purpose.
Now, let us assume that (x + 12)² = x² + sx + 144
⇒ x² + 24x + 144 = x² + sx + 144
⇒ 24x = sx
⇒ s = 24
Therefore, the require value for s is 24. (Answer)

Answer:
(B) -4
Step-by-step explanation:
so, do the multiplications and see :
(a - 1/a)² = a² - 2×a/a + 1/a² = a² - 2 + 1/a²
(a + 1/a)² = a² + 2×a/a + 1/a² = a² + 2 + 1/a²
now we need to subtract the second from the first :
(a² - 2 + 1/a²) - (a² + 2 + 1/a²) =
= a² - 2 + 1/a² - a² - 2 - 1/a² = -4
and that's it !
