Answer:

Original amount invested = $3400 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original investment of Steve = $x

Stock increased in the first year = 50% of amount invested

Therefore total amount after one year = x + 0.5x = 1.5x

Commission paid to the stock broker = $350

Amount lost by him = $400

Amount withdrawn by him = $300

Total amount decreased from the amount after 1 year

= 1.5x - (350 + 400 + 300)

= 1.5x - 1050

This remaining amount is doubled, so the final amount

= 2(1.5x - 1050)

= 3x - 2100

This final amount is equal to $8100

3x - 2100 = 8100

3x = 8100 + 2100

3x = 10200

x = $3400

Therefore original amount invested in the stock market was $3400 .

OF bisects EOF. EOF=y+30 and FOG=3y-50. solve for y.
Alexeev081 [22]

It always helps to draw a picture. Given the information, Segment OF is the center line that is bisecting this angle.

Since it's bisecting (cutting in half)... we can simply set the two angles equal to each other.

y+30=3y-50
-2y+30=-50
-2y=-80
y = 40

C)40.

Determine wether the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant
evablogger [386]

Answer:

decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

"Increasing" means the graph is going up from left to right.

"Decreasing" means the graph is going down from left to right.

"Constant" means the graph is "flat" (this is not a technical term) it is keeping the same y value, neither going up nor going down.

What can be super confusing is the

(2.2, 5) mentioned in the question. THIS IS NOT A POINT. It is an interval and points and intervals unfortunately have the same notation sometimes.

An "interval" is a section of the graph, here: FROM 2.2 not including 2.2, TO 5 not including 5. These are like the address on the x-axis. If you look at your graph at 2.2 on the x-axis, it is a peak(relative maximum) and it goes down to the right to where x is 5 where it bottoms out (relative minimum) So on that interval, from 2.2 to 5, the graph is DECREASING.
