Answer:

<h2> 14.7 %</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

let us total the amount in her portfolio

Company A was worth $2690

Company B was worth $2980.

Total = $5670

when The stock in Company A decreases by 20%  she will have

$2690 *0.8=  $2152

Company A will worth $2152

when The stock in Company B decreases by 10%  she will have

$2980 *0.9=  $2682

Company A will worth  $2682

In all after the decline in are portfolio is $2152+$2682= $4834

the difference for the original amount in her investment is = $5670-$4834

= $836

The total percentage decrease in the investor's stock account

= (836/5670)*100= 0.147*100= 14.7 %

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = –x2 – 4x + 2 are true? Check all that apply. The domain is {x|x ≤ –2}. T
Leto [7]
The graph of the function f(x) =-x^2-4x + 2 is parabola with branches going down in the negative direction of y-axis. 
The vertex of parabola has coordinates:

x_v=\dfrac{-(-4)}{2\cdot(-1)}=-2, \\ y_v=-(-2)^2-4\cdot (-2)+2=-4+8+2=6

Then you can conclude that all x are possible, that means that the dimain is x\in (-\infty,\infty) and the maximum value of y is at the vertex, then the range is (-\infty,6].The function is increasing for x<-2 and decreasing for x>-2 (since vertex is the maximum point).
When x=0, y=2. 
Hence,
<span>The domain is {x|x ≤ –2} - false.
</span>
<span>The range is {y|y ≤ 6} - true.
</span>
<span>The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) - true.
</span>
<span>The function is decreasing over the interval (−4, ∞) - false.
</span>
<span>The function has a positive y-intercept - true.</span>

a store mixes red fescue worth $12 per pound and chewings fescue worth $16 per pound. The mixture is to sell for $15 per pound.
nlexa [21]

<span>Answer is: 414 pounds of red fescue and 138 pounds of chewings fescue is needed to produce 552 pounds of mixture.</span>

<span>Explanation:
x - how much of red fescue is needed for one pound of mixture
y - how much of chewings fescue is needed for one pound of mixture</span>x*12+ y*16 = 15<span>x + y = 1
so, x=1-y
putting it into first line:</span><span>(1-y)*12 + y*16 = 15
12 - 12*y + 16*y = 15
4*y = 3
y=3/4
so, x= 1-3/4; x=1/4</span>So to produce 552 pounds of mixture we need..<span>To produce 1 pound of mixture we need: 3/4 pound of red fescue and 1/4 pound of chewing fescue so to produce 552 pounds of miture we need:
552*3/4 - red fescue, which is 414 pounds needed
and
552/4 - chewings fescue, which is 138 pounds needed</span>
