Question

STUCK FOR DAYS!!!! NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! MEDALS!!!!! FAN-ING!!!!! WHATEVER!!! I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR HELP!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Gordon is evaluating some stocks he wants to purchase. You can see the function of the stock price below. The variable x represents days.

Stock A B C
Price
A.) f(x) = 25(1.08)x
B.)
x f(x)
0 22.00
1 21.56
2 21.13
C.) The initial price of this stock is $30, but it has been increasing 4% each day.
1.) Create the price function for Stock D. It should have the second lowest starting price and the second highest rate of growth. Using complete sentences, justify that your function meets these requirements.
2.) Graph the price function for Stock D. Explain the key features of the graph with complete sentences.
3.) A recent drop in sales has affected Stock D with the function g(x) = –6. Explain to Gordon how Stock D’s new price function, f(x) + g(x), will be created. Graph f(x) + g(x).
4.) Gordon wants to fully understand what kind of changes could affect the money he is investing. Using complete sentences, explain the effect of the following transformations. Graph them and f(x) on the same coordinate plane.
f(x + 2)
f(–x)
f(x) + 3

Answer 2

merry christmas! :D

Answer 3

I need help with math not socializing

Answer 4

You have to create one, that is what these questions are helping you do

Answer 12

C.) The initial price of this stock is $30, but it has been increasing 4% each day.
f(x) = 30(1.4)x

Answer 13

Thanks @sleepyjess

Answer 14

1.) Create the price function for Stock D. It should have the second lowest starting price and the second highest rate of growth. Using complete sentences, justify that your function meets these requirements.
choose a number between 25 and 30 please.

Answer 15

@MERTICH said that it had to be between 22 and 25

Answer 16

So 23

Answer 17

no it has to be between the initial start prices which were 25 and 30.
now pick a number between 1.08 and 1.4

Answer 18

26 and then 1.3

Answer 19

ok so:
f(x) = 26(1.3)x
that is your equation.

Answer 20

That's it for number one!?!?!!?

Answer 21

2.) Graph the price function for Stock D. Explain the key features of the graph with complete sentences.
to do this we would need to solve the equation and graph it do u know how to do this?

Answer 22

yes that is it.

Answer 23

f(x) = 33.8x??

Answer 24

did you solve like this:
f(1) = 26(1.3)1
f(1) = 33.8?
f(2) = 26(1.3)2
f(2) = 67.6
?

Answer 25

i believe so...then the x is the days and the y is the amount(or whatever :D)

Answer 26

do you understand so far?

Answer 27

3.) A recent drop in sales has affected Stock D with the function g(x) = –6. Explain to Gordon how Stock D’s new price function, f(x) + g(x), will be created. Graph f(x) + g(x).
for this you would just do this.
1 + -6
2 + -6
3 + -6
@jdoe0001 is this right?

Answer 28

Yes I solved it like that

Answer 29

@jdoe0001

Answer 30

So can you explain to me how you got that last one??

Answer 31

@undeadknight26

Answer 32

This one?
4.) Gordon wants to fully understand what kind of changes could affect the money he is investing. Using complete sentences, explain the effect of the following transformations. Graph them and f(x) on the same coordinate plane.
f(x + 2)
f(–x)
f(x) + 3

Answer 33

Well yes, but the one I'm talking about is your answer for number 3

Answer 34

@jdoe0001 Can you help me with number 3 and number 4??

Answer 35

well since g(x) = -6 and we were graphing it per day so the first day would be 1 + -6 the second day would be 2 + -6 and the third day would be 3 + -6...this is what i need jdoes help with...

Answer 36

Well if you were graphing it by day then wouldn't it be g(x) = 1(-6), g(x) = 2(-6), so on and so forth??

Answer 37

hmm what's stock D anyway?

Answer 38

well, the function for stock D that is

Answer 39

no because they told me:
A recent drop in sales has affected Stock D with the function g(x) = –6. Explain to Gordon how Stock D’s new price function, f(x) + g(x), will be created. Graph f(x) + g(x).

We have to use:
f(x) + g(x)
so
f(x) + -6.

Answer 40

we made this:
f(x) = 26(1.3)x

Answer 41

\(\bf f(x) = 26(1.3)x\qquad g(x)=-6\\ \quad \\
f(x)-g(x)=[26(1.3)x]-6\)

Answer 42

hmmm rather \(\bf f(x) = 26(1.3)x\qquad g(x)=-6\\ \quad \\
f(x)+g(x)=[26(1.3)x]-6\)

Answer 43

ohh ok...
so:
F(1) + g(-6) = 33.8 - 6?
F(1) + g(-6) = 27.8?

Answer 44

Yea, that makes sense

Answer 45

\(\bf f(x)+g(x)=[26(1.3)x]-6\qquad f(1)+g(1)=[26(1.3)1]-6\)

Answer 46

which will make it 33.8-6

Answer 47

Ok so that's the answer?

Answer 48

or the 1st day for the new function at stock D, will be 33.8-6

Answer 49

well.. for 3, yes, that's how Gordon will see how it's created, by adding both functions

Answer 50

What about 4

Answer 51

well. you're supposed to also graph it

Answer 52

once you graph the new function, 4 is just nothing but "translations" or "transformations" or "shifts" of THAT graph

Answer 53

Wait what???

Answer 54

once you have graph for f(x)+g(x), or the new function, the lines in 4 just shift it or move it about

Answer 55

How would I "move" it, like I don't understand what you're saying

Answer 56

have you covered "functions translations or transformations" yet?
or function shifts

Answer 57

I think so
