A stock loses half its value each week. If the stock started at $125, what is it worth after 4 weeks?

Answer: 7.81

The formula is

y = 125* (1/2)^4

y = 125 / 16

y = 7.81

So at the end of the 4th week, the stock is worth only 7.81 dollars.

If that is not the motive and the first week doesn't count then the formula changes to...

y = 125 * (1/2)^(n-1)

y = 125 * (1/2)^3

y = 15.625 could be the other answer if you looked at it in that perspective

However, I would go with 7.81 as the answer.

Hope I helped :)

Which expression is equivalent to Negative 28 x y 35 y? 7 y (Negative 4 x y 5 y) 7 x (negative 4 x 5 y) 7 x (negative 4 y 5 y) 7

GREYUIT [131]

You can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition to find the equivalent expression to the given expression.

The expression which is equivalent to the given expression is given by

Option D: $7y(-4x + 5)$

<h3>What are equivalent expressions?</h3>

Those expressions who might look different but their simplified forms are same expressions are called equivalent expressions.

<h3>What is distributive property of multiplication over addition?</h3>

Suppose a, b and c are three numbers. Then we have:

$a(b + c) = a \times b + a \times c$

(a(b+c) means a multiplied to (b+c). The sign of multiplication is usually hidden when using symbols and both quantities which are in multiplication are written together without space)

<h3>Using the above property and the fact that 28 and 35 are multiples of 7 to get the equivalent expression</h3>

The given expression is $-28xy + 35y$

Since 28 = 7 times 4 and 35 = 7 times 5

Thus,

$-28xy + 35y = -7 \times 4 \times x \times y + 7 \times 5 \times y = 7y(-4x + 5)$

Thus,

The expression which is equivalent to the given expression is given by

Option D: $7y(-4x + 5)$
