An investor has an account with stock from two different companies. Last year, his stock in Company A was worth $7200 and his st

ock in Company B was worth $3510. The stock in Company A has decreased 24% since last year and the stock in Company B has decreased 20%. What was the total percentage decrease in the investor's stock account? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

Given that last year stock for company A was $7200

The stock for company B last year was worth $3510

Stock in company A decreased by 24%

This means the new value of stock for company A became;

(100-24)/100 *$7200

76/100*$7200

0.76*7200 =$5472

Stock in company B decreased by 20%

This means the new value of stock for company B became;

(100-20)/100 *$3510

80/100*$3510

0.8*$3510

$2808

Original investors stock value was = $7200+$3510 =$10710

New investors stock value is = $5472+$2808=$8280

Decrease in value of stock = $10710-$8280 =$2430

percentage decrease in stock value = decrease in stock/original value of stock *100%

=2430/10710 *100 =22.689

=22.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!
I'd love to help you learn.
I see the formula attached is 4*(\frac{1}{2})^{x} =-2^{x}-1\\

This problem is explaining you to graph, since algebraically it's a little more harder to try and find the solution.

Since they're both equal to each other, we can assign a variable like y, so we can make them into two individual lines.

You can use your scientific calculator to graph lines like this, or otherwise there are online sources (Desmos helps alot!) which can graph two equations as so.

Now that we have the corresponding system of equations, we can graph both.

y=4*(\frac{1}{2})^x\\ y=-2^x-1
Let's graph them on Desmos on the same plane. The answers are attached. Red is the first equation, blue is the second.

What determines the solutions of a system of equations?

-No solution: the two lines will never intersect/does not intersect ever, which means that there are no set point where it satisfies both equations.

-One solution: the two lines intersect once and only once, meaning that there is that one set point where the x and y values both satisfy both equations.

-Multiple solutions: the two lines will intersect each other multiple times, meaning there are multiple set points where the x and y values satisfy both equations. You usually will not have to worry about these problem sets.

-Infinite solutions: the two lines are both the same line, which means every x and y value will satisfy both equations.

Looking at the solution attached, we can see that there are no places where a system of equations intersect, therefore ruling it that they have no solution.

And to answer your last question, an asymptote is a imaginary line in which a equation can approach closely and closely, but will never touch that imaginary line. Think of a line at y=\frac{1}{x}. When you graph it, you can see that the two lines never ever EVER intersect the y-axis, or x=0; giving that x=0 as a vertical asymptote.

What is the logarithmic function modeled by the following table?
cupoosta [38]
Answer: option 1.

log_{4} x

x      f(x)

4      log (4) 4 = 1 ... because 4^1 = 4

16    log(4) 16 = 2 .... because 4^2 = 16

64    log (4) 64 = 3 .... because 4^3 = 64

If u-ai + bj and v-ci + dj are vectors, then which of the following statements is not true?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that u-ai + bj and v-ci + dj are vectors

We have dot product

u.v = (ai+bj).(ci+dj) hence inner product of u and v.  So option a is true

The dot product of u and v is a scalar is true because dot product is always a scalar

The dot product of u and v is a vector. is false because dot product is only a scalar and has no direction and hence cannot be a vector

The dot product of u and v is given by the expression ac+bd

True because we multiply corresponding i components and j components and add.

So only C is not true.
