OpenStudy (fatimab2000):

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.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

As a start, find the starting prices of each of the given stocks

OpenStudy (fatimab2000):

f(x)=26(1.3)x Between the initial start prices, that are 25 and 30, I chose 26. I also decided on a number between 1.08 and 1.4 and ended up choosing 1.4 i thought this was the answer, but my teacher said I didn't consider stock b

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Careful, for stock C, the rate of growth is 4% in decimal form, it is same as 1.04 not 1.4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

your starting price looks good though

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for rate growth, you need to choose some number between 1.04 and 1.08

OpenStudy (fatimab2000):

f(x)=26(1.05)x

OpenStudy (fatimab2000):

but i still dont understand how to consider stock b

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you mean f(x) = 26(1.05)^x ?

OpenStudy (fatimab2000):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

stock B is decreasing, so we can ignore it..

OpenStudy (fatimab2000):

so is my function correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, looks good !
