Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the initial value of the stock at the beginning of 2006. And y the value at the end of 2006.

When it went up by 25% in 2006;

y = x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x

For the value to go back to the original price, it has to decrease from y to x;

y = 1.25x

The percentage decrease from y to x is;

= (y-x)/y × 100%

Substituting the values;

= (1.25x -x)/1.25x × 100%

= 0.25x/1.25x × 100%

= 0.2 × 100%

= 20%

Therefore, it will have to go down 20%

Answer:

Exact Form:

√2−1

Decimal Form:

0.41421356

…

Step-by-step explanation:

Since  9π/8  is not an angle where the values of the six trigonometric functions are known, try using half-angle identities.

9π/8  is not an exact angle

First, rewrite the angle as the product of  1/2  and an angle where the values of the six trigonometric functions are known. In this case,  9π/8  can be rewritten as

(1/2)*  9π/8 tan ((1/2)*  9π/8)

Use the half-angle identity for tangent to simplify the expression. The formula states that  

tan (0/2)=sin(0)/1+cos(0) sin(9π/4)/1+cos(9π/4)

Simplify

Remove full rotations of  2π  until the angle is between  0  and  2π.

sin(π/4)/1+cos(9π/4)

The exact value of sin(π/4) is √2/2

√2/2/1+cos(9π/4)

Simplify the Denominator

Remove full rotations of  2π  until the angle is between  0  and  2π.√2/2/1+cos(π4)

The exact value of cos(π/4)   is  √2/2.√2/2/1+√2/2

To write  1/1  as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by  2/2  .√2/2/1/1⋅2/2+√2/2

Write each expression with a common denominator of  2, by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of  1.

Combine.

√2/2/1⋅2/1⋅2+√2/2

Multiply 2 by 1

√2/2/1⋅2/2+√2/2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

√2/2/1⋅2+√2/2

Multiply 2 by 1

√2/2/2+√2/2

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator

√2/2  ⋅  2/2+√2

Cancel the common factor of  2  .

Factor out the greatest common factor  2

√2/2⋅1  ⋅  2⋅1/2+√2

Cancel the common factor

√2/2⋅1  ⋅  2⋅1/2+√2

Rewrite the expression.

√2/1  ⋅  1/2+√2

Simplify

Multiply  √2/1  and  1/2+√2

√2/2+√2

Multiply  √2/2+√2  by  2−√2/2−√2

Combine

√2(2−√2)/(2+√2)(2−√2)

Expand the denominator using the FOIL method.

√2(2−√2)/4−2√2+√2⋅2−√2^2

Simplify

√2(2−√2)/2

Apply the distributive property

√2⋅2+√2(−√2)/2

Move  2  to the left of the expression  √2⋅2.

2⋅√2+√2(−√2)/2

Simplify  

√2(−√2)  .

Raise  √2  to the power of  1  .

2⋅√2−(√2^1√2)/2

Raise  √2  to the power of  1  .

2⋅√2−(√2^1√2^1)/2

Use the power rule  a^m  a^n=a^m+n  to combine exponents.

2⋅√2−√2^1+1/2

Add  1  and  1  .

2⋅√2−√2^2/2

Simplify each term.

Multiply  2  by  √2  .

2√2−√2^2/2

Rewrite  √2^2  as  2  .

2√2−1⋅2/2

Multiply  −1  by  2.

2√2−2/2

Reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors.

Factor  2  out of  2√2.

2(√2)−2/2

Factor  2  out of  −2.

2(√2)+2⋅−1/2

Factor  2  out of  

2(√2)+2(−1)2(√2−1)/2

Cancel the common factors.

Factor  2  out of  2  .

2(√2−1)/2(1)

Cancel the common factor.

2(√2−1)/2⋅1

Rewrite the expression.

√2−1/1

Divide  √2−1  by  1  .

√2−1

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

√2−1

Decimal Form:

0.41421356…
