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Amount withdrawn by him = $300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 .

PLEASE HELP
lisabon 2012 [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure below shows a portion of the graph of the function j\left(x\right) \ = \ 4^{x-2}, hence the average rate of change (slope of the blue line) between the x and x+h is

                     \text{Average rate of change} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \dsiplaystyle\frac{f\left(x+h\right) \ - \ f\left(x\right)}{\left(x \ + \ h \right) \ - \ x} \\ \\ \\  \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{f\left(x + h\right) \ - \ f\left(x\right)}{h} \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{4^{x+h-2} \ - \ 4^{x-2}}{h} \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{4^{x-2+h} \ - \ 4^{x-2}}{h}

                                                            \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{\left(4^{x-2}\right)\left(4^{h}\right) \ - \ 4^{x-2}}{h} \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{\left(4^{x-2}\right)\left(4^{h} \ - \ 1 \right)}{h}
