Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
<u>Solving</u>
- To find f(3), substitute x = 3 in the function
- ⇒ f(3) = -2(3)² + (3) + 5
- ⇒ f(3) = -2(9) + 8
- ⇒ f(3) = -18 + 8
- ⇒ <u>f(3) = -10</u>
5 1/2 + p = 6
subtract 5 /12 from each side
5 1/2 - 5 1/2+ p = 6 - 5 1/2
p = 6 - 5 1/2
borrow from the 6
p = 5 2/2 - 5 1/2
p = 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An option to buy a stock is priced at $150. If the stock closes above 30 next Thursday, the option will be worth $1000. If it closes below 20, the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30, the option will be worth $200. A trader thinks there is a 50% chance that the stock will close in the 20-30 range, a 20% chance that it will close above 30, and a 30% chance that it will fall below 20.
a) Let X represent the price of the option
<h3><u> x P(X=x)
</u></h3>
$1000 20/100 = 0.2
$200 50/100 = 0.5
$0 30/100 = 0.3
b) Expected option price
Therefore expected gain = $300 - $150 = $150
c) The trader should buy the stock. Since there is an positive expected gain($150) in trading that stock option.

Answer: x = 6</h3>
======================================================
Work Shown:
Those are the possible solutions, but plugging x = -14 back into the original equation will lead to an error. So we rule x = -14 out
x = 6 works as a solution however
Answer:
7x+1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+3/4+2x+-1/2
