The equation for which square method is possible is x²-8=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For checking which of the equation satisfies the complete square condition, we proceed by checking each of the available options

1). x²+20x=52

Rewriting it as x²+20x-52

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 1) and independent constant (i.e. 52) is not a perfect square.

2). 5x² + 3x = 9

This equation can be rearranged as 5x²+3x-9=0

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 5) and independent constant(i.e. 9) is not a perfect square.

3.) x² −8=1

This equation can be rearranged as x²=9

Hence x= ±3

This binomial expression is a perfect square and can be done by the square method.

4). 3x² −x+17=0

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 3) and independent constant(i.e. 17) is not a perfect square.

g If the economy improves, a certain stock stock will have a return of 23.4 percent. If the economy declines, the stock will hav

dusya [7]

Answer:

$E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%$

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2$

And replacing we got:

$Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105$

And finally the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable of interest X as the return from a stock and we know the following conditions:

$X_1 = 23.4 , P(X_1) =0.67$ represent the result if the economy improves

$X_2 = -11.9 , P(X_1) =0.33$ represent the result if we have a recession

We want to find the standard deviation for the returns on the stock. We need to begin finding the mean with this formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And replacing the data given we got:

$E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%$

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2$

And replacing we got:

$Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105$

And finally the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%$
