Answer: 170 HES and 90 XOM

Hi! Let's say you bought A HES shares, and B XOM shares. As you invested $22,240, yo have that:

22,240 = A*80 + B*96     (80 and 96 are the initial prices)

3 months later those prices decreased to 64 and 80, and you sold your shares at those prices, then:

18,080 = 64*A + 80*B

This is a system of two linear equations and two unkowns A, B. You can solve it getting A from first equation:

A = (22,240-B*96)/80

And then replacing A into the second equation you can find the value of B. Then replacing B in the third equation you get A.

Give the exact form and decimal form of the equation
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Exact form: \sin{(6x)} = \frac{8}{9}

Decimal form: \sin{(6x)} = 0.8889

The solution for x is: The solution for x is of 10.455º

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

8 = 9\sin{(6x)}

Placing into the desired format, the exact format is:

\sin{(6x)} = \frac{8}{9}

In the decimal part, we divide 8 by 9. So

\sin{(6x)} = 0.8889

Solving for x:

We apply the inverse sine. So

\sin^{-1}{\sin{(6x)}} = \sin^{-1}{0.8889}

6x = 62.73

x = \frac{62.73}{6}

x = 10.455

The solution for x is of 10.455º
