Answer:

25/4 will have to be added to "complete the square"

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 5x - 18 = 0

x² - 5x = 18

Find the half of the coefficient of x and square it

(5/2)² = 25/4

Add 25/4 to both sides to complete the square

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18 + 25/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18(4/4) + 25/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 72/4 + 25/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = (72+25)/4

x² - 5x + 25/4 = 97/4

(x - 5/2)² = 97/4

Find the square root of both sides

√(x - 5/2)² = ±√97/4

x - 5/2 = √97/2

x = √97/2 + 5/2 or x = -√97/2 + 5/2

x = 7.42443 or -2.42443

The World Equity Index function shown contains two valuation metrics for the S&P 500. The Verizon description page contains
Nikitich [7]

Answer: Verizon is less expensive than the S&P 500 on both a P/E and dividend yield basis.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a <em>Price to Earnings ratio is relatively high</em> this means that the <em>Price of the security is high </em>because investors believe the company has good prospects.

When a Dividend Yield is relatively low, this means that the dividends being declared are quite lower than the price because Dividend yield is dividends as a percentage of security price. <em>Lower Dividend Yields therefore mean high security prices</em>.

Looking at the Verizon Chart and the S&P 500 you see that Verizon P/E ratio is 11.71 while S&P is 19.01.

This means that the price of Verizon's is less than S&P 500.

Also notice that Verizon's Dividend yield is 4.09% while S&P 500's is 1.91% again signifying that Verizon is cheaper.

I have attached the full question.
