In 1999, the share price for General Motors stock was $144 per share but has been declining at an average rate of 14% per year.

The equation P = 144(0.86)x will give the value of the stock after any number of years. What is the current share price for GM stock?

Answer:  $5.22  (in the year 2021)

========================================================

Explanation:

The year 2021 is 22 years after 1999 since

2021 - 1999 = 22

That means we'll plug x = 22 into the equation given to us

P = 144*(0.86)^x

P = 144*(0.86)^22

P = 5.21588994768589 which is approximate

P = 5.22 rounding to the nearest cent

The share price is about $5.22 in the year 2021.

This assumes that the 14% decline keeps happening year after year; however, in reality, stocks are more complicated and fluctuate more randomly if anything.

Answer:

= 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question: 1 bag contains

4 cotton candy lollipops

3 cherry lollipops

6 butterscotch lollipops

1 orange lollipops

Total number of possible outcomes =

14

The probability of randomly choosing a cotton candy or orange lollipops is calculated as:

P(Cotton candy) + P(Orange)

= 4/14 + 3/14

= 7/14

= 1/2

A gardener uses a coordinate grid to design a new garden. The gardener uses polygon WXYZ on the grid to represent the garden. Th
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A square

36 square yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information:

W(3,3), X(-3,3), Y(-3,-3), and Z(3,-3)

So we need to graph those vertices and connect them in order.

(please have a look at the attached photo)

From the graph, it clear that the shape of the garden is a square.  

Then, we need to calculate the length of the four sides

<u>Find the length of the side YZ. </u>

The length of side YZ  =  3 + 3  =  6 yards  because point Y and Z are on the same line y = -3 so we just need to find the distance between their x coordinate

<u>Find the length of the side WZ.</u>

The length of side WZ  =  3 + 3  =  6 yards because point W and Z are on the same line x = 3 so we just need to find the distance between their y coordinate

=> the area of the square WXYZ:

= YZ*WZ

= 6*6

= 36 square yard.
