ANSWER
See attachment.
EXPLANATION
The given function is

When we compare this function to

We have a=1, b=4 and c=5
We put this inside the formula for the discriminant, which is



Since the discriminant is negative, the function has no x-intercepts.
The graph of this function is the one hanging in the air above the x-axis and opens upwards.
Answer:
the equilibrium expected growth rate is 6.65%
Step by step Explanation:
We were given stock sold per share of $32.50
Dividend per share =$1.25
Required Return rate = 10.5%
Then we can calculate Percentage of Dividend for share as;
dividend of br. 1.25 per share at the end of the year (D1=br.1.25)
= 1.25×100= 125
Let the dividend percentage = y
stock sold per share × y= 125
125= 32.50y
y = 125/32.50
y= 3.85
y= 3.85*100%
Then the Dividend percentage = 3.85%
Growth rate=(required rate of return -Dividend percentage)
= 10.5 - 3.85 = 6.65
Therefore, the equilibrium expected growth rate is 6.65%
Answer:
x = -4, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute for y
2x - 5(x + 2) = 2
distribute -5
2x -5x - 10 = 2
solve
-3x - 10 = 2
add 10 on both sides
-3x = 12
divide by -3
x = -4
now substitute for x in the equation y = x + 2
y = -4 + 2
y = -2
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 - 8x+16
Set equal to zero
0 = x^2 -8x +16
Factor
what 2 numbers multiply to 16 and add to -8
-4*-4 = 16
-4+-4 = -8
0= (x-4)(x-4)
Using the zero product property
x-4 = 0 x-4 =0
x=4 x=4
