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:

(x-8)(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

using quadratic formula we have

x=  \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c}}{2*a}

we have:

x^2-x-56=0

a= 1 b=-1 c=-56

so we have:

x=(-(-1)+-sqrt(1^1-4*(1)*(-56)))/(2*1)

x=1+-sqrt(1-4*(-56))/(2)

x=(1+-sqrt(225))/2

x=(1+-15)/2

so we have the roots:

x1=(1+15)/2 =8

x2=(1-15)/2=-7

so the answer is (x-8)(x+7)

Find the vector and parametric equations for the line through the point P(0, 0, 5) and orthogonal to the plane −1x+3y−3z=1. Vect
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Note that orthogonal to the plane means perpendicular to the plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1x+3y-3z=1 can also be written as -1x+3y-3z=0

The direction vector of the plane -1x+3y-3z-1=0 is (-1,3,-3).

Let us find a point on this  line for which the vector from this point to (0,0,5) is perpendicular to the given line. The point is x-0,y-0 and z-0 respectively

Therefore, the vector equation is given as:

-1(x-0) + 3(y-0) + -3(z-5) = 0

-x + 3y + (-3z+15) = 0

-x + 3y -3z + 15 = 0

Multiply through by - to get a positive x coordinate to give

x - 3y + 3z - 15 = 0

sleet_krkn [62]

The average fraction of students in the two classes who went on the field trip is 11/16

<h3>What is the average fraction of students in the two classes who went on the field trip?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Class 1 = 3/4

Class 2 = 5/8

The average is calculated as

Average = 1/2 * (Class 1 + Class 2)

So, we have

Average = 1/2 * (3/4 + 5/8)

Evaluate

Average = 11/16

Hence, the average fraction of students in the two classes who went on the field trip is 11/16
