For this question, the time given confuses me. I know the rate of return is just total return divided by divided by investment, Assuming that Matt received the $400 in dividends as cash payouts, and they weren't reinvested into buying shares of the stock, then his total return over two years was $500, Now, if Matt's dividends were reinvested into the stock - and if you have a 401(k) or IRA, that's what usually happens - then his ROI would have been only 6% because he only made a profit of $100 on an investment of $1500. Note: In the real world, in current market conditions, Matt probably would have got about a 5% return on a good stock, and Bella would have received about 0.05% on a savings account.
hope this helped you ;)
The area of the trapezoid would be
<span>(10 m) (15m + 19m)/2 = 170m^2. </span>
<span>The area of the circle would be pi*(3m)^2 </span>
<span>= (3.14)(9m^2) = 28.26 m^2. </span>
<span>Subtract the 28.26 from the 170.00 and you get 141.74...</span>
To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for and solve for y. <em>x-intercept(s): (2,0)</em> <em>y-intercept(s): (0,−10)</em>
