The two possible answers are w = 3 and w = -1/5
These answers can be obtained through solving to the absolute value symbols.
<span>−2∣5w−7∣+9=−7 ---> subtract 9 from both sides
</span><span>−2∣5w−7∣= -16 ---> divide both sides by -2
</span>∣5w−7∣= 8
Now, because of the absolute value symbols, set the inside equal to 8 and -8 for the two answers.
5w - 7 = 8
5w = 15
w = 3
AND
5w - 7 = -8
5w = -1
w = -1/5
You have the correct axis of symmetry value. Nice work.
Plug that x value into the equation to get...
y = -2x^2 - 12x - 10
y = -2*(-3)^2 - 12*(-3) - 10 <<-- replace every x with -3; then use PEMDAS
y = -2*(9) - 12*(-3) - 10
y = -18 + 36 - 10
y = 18 - 10
y = 8
The vertex is the ordered pair (-3, 8)
Note: the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex
Answer:
The answer is A. Good Luck!
Answer:
There is a 95% probability that the portfolio would not loose more than 30% of its value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval for proportions (<em>p</em>) is:

The information provided is:

For 95% confidence level the critical value of <em>z</em> is:

The 95% confidence interval for average annual return is:

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is -28%.
This implies that the portfolio would not loose more than 28% of its value.
Thus, there is a 95% probability that the portfolio would not loose more than 30% of its value.
1. -0.6, 2. 0.73, 3. 0.72 those are my answer
