Answer:

%  change in stopping distance = 7.34 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The stooping distance is given by

T = 2.5 x + 0.5 x^{2}

We will approximate this distance  using the relation

f (x + dx) = f (x)+ f' (x)dx

dx = 26 - 25 = 1

T' =  2.5 + x

Therefore

f(x)+f'(x)dx = 2.5x+ 0.5x^{2} + 2.5 +x

This is the stopping distance at x = 25

Put x = 25 in above equation

2.5 × (25) + 0.5× 25^{2} + 2.5 + 25 = 402.5 ft

Stopping distance at x = 25

T(25) = 2.5 × (25) + 0.5 × 25^{2}

T(25) = 375 ft

Therefore approximate change in stopping distance = 402.5 - 375 = 27.5 ft

%  change in stopping distance = \frac{27.5}{375} × 100

%  change in stopping distance = 7.34 %

vampirchik [111]
The stock price per share was $8.60
Number of shares bought 1000
Total price for the shares:
(Cost per share)*(Number of shares)
=8.60*1000
=$8600

The stock price after 1 year $9.15
Total number of shares is 1000
Current price=(current share price)*(number of shares)
9.15*1000
=$9150
current value=(Current price)-(buying price)
=9150-8600
=$550

Net Profit=(Current value)-(Expenses)
=550-14
=$536
