Earnings per share, EPS is calculated using the formula \large EPS=\frac{NI-PD}{SO}, where NI is net income, PD is preferred dividence, and SO number of outstanding shares.

What is a company's net income if they have $50,000 in preferred dividends and pay out $0.55 per share on 200,000 shares?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Earning per share (EPS) = $0.55

Number of outstanding shares = 200,000

Preferred dividend = $50,000

EPS = (NET INCOME - PREFERRED DIVIDEND) / NUMBR OF OUTSTANDING SHARES

0.55 = ( NET INCOME - 50000) / 200000

200000 × 0.55 = NET INCOME - 50000

110,000 = NET INCOME - 50000

NET INCOME = 110,000 + 50,000

NET INCOME = $160,000

solve for x 5(x+1)=4(x+8)

Answers

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

expanding the above expression we get

5x+5=4x+32

grouping numbers with coefficient of x at the left side and constant at the right side we get

5x-4x=32-5

x=27

To solve this equation, we start by distributing both the 5 and the 4 through both set of parentheses.

This gives us 5x + 5 = 4x + 32.

Now subtract 4x from both
sides to get x + 5 = 32.

Now subtract 5 from both sides and x = 27.

A pair of opposite vertices of a square is (1, 2) and (3,4). Find the coordinates of the remaining
vertices of the square.​

Answers

Answer:

(3, 2) and (1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the two points on a graph.

The other two points are (3, 2) and (1, 4).

To do this with algebra, it takes a few steps.

The diagonals of a square are perpendicular and bisect each other. You are given opposite vertices, so first, find the midpoint of that diagonal.

((1 + 3)/2, (2 + 4)/2) = (2, 3)

The midpoint of the diagonal is (2, 3).

This diagonal has slope 1 and y-intercept 1, so its equation is

y = x + 1

The perpendicular bisector has equation

y = -x + 5

The two vertices we are looking for, lie in a circle whose center is the midpoint of the diagonals, (2, 3), and whose radius is half of the diagonal.

Use Pythagoras to find the diagonal's length.

2^2 + 2^2 = c^2

c^2 = 8

c = sqrt(8) = 2sqrt(2)

Half of the diagonal is sqrt(2). This is the radius if the circle.

The equation of the circle is

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = (sqrt(2))^2

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 2

The points of intersection of this circle and the second diagonal are the two vertices you are looking for.

System of equations:

(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 2

y = -x + 5

Use substitution and substitute y with -x + 5 in the equation of the circle.

(x - 2)^2 + (-x + 5 - 3)^2 = 2

(x - 2)^2 + (-x + 2)^2 - 2 = 0

x^2 - 4x + 4 + x^2 - 4x + 4 - 2= 0

2x^2 - 8x + 6 = 0

x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0

x - 3 = 0   or x - 1 = 0

x = 3 or x = 1

Now we find corresponding y values.

y = -x + 5

x = 3

y = -3 + 5 = 2

This gives us (3, 2).

y = -x + 5

x = 1

y = -1 + 5 = 4

This gives us (1, 4).

Answer: (1, 4) and (3, 2)

prove that (3-4sin^2)(1-3tan^2)=(3-tan^2)(4cos^2-3)

Answers

Answer:

Proof in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I expanded both sides as a first step. (You may use foil here if you wish and if you use that term.)

This means we want to show the following:

[tex]3-9\tan^2(\theta)-4\sin^2(\theta)+12\sin^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]=12\cos^2(\theta)-9-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)+3\tan^2(\theta)[/tex].

After this I played with only the left hand side to get it to match the right hand side.

One of the first things I notice we had sine squared's on left side and no sine squared's on the other. I wanted this out. I see there were cosine squared's on the right. Thus, I began with Pythagorean Theorem here.

[tex]3-9\tan^2(\theta)-4\sin^2(\theta)+12\sin^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]3-9\tan^2(\theta)-4(1-\cos^2(\theta))+12\sin^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)[tex]

Distribute:

[tex]3-9\tan^2(\theta)-4+4\cos^2(\theta)+12\sin^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

Combine like terms and reorder left side to organize it based on right side:

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+12\sin^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

After doing this, I since that on the left we had products of sine squared and tangent squared but on the right we had products of cosine squared and tangent squared. This problem could easily be fixed with Pythagorean Theorem again.

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+12\sin^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+12(1-\cos^2(\theta))\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+12\tan^2(\theta)-12\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

Combined like terms while keeping the same organization as the right:

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-12\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

We do not have the same amount of the mentioned products in the previous step on both sides. So I rewrote this term as a sum. I did this as follows:

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-12\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-8\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

Here, I decide to use the following identity [tex]\cos\theta)\tan(\theta)=\sin(\theta)[/tex]. The reason for this is because I certainly didn't need those extra products of cosine squared and tangent squared as I didn't have them on the right side.

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-8\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-8\sin^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

We are again back at having sine squared's on this side and only cosine squared's on the other. We will use Pythagorean Theorem again here.

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-8\sin^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-8(1-\cos^2(\theta))-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]4\cos^2(\theta)-1+3\tan^2(\theta)-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)-8+8\cos^2(\theta)-9\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]12\cos^2(\theta)-9+3tan^2(\theta)-4\cos^2(\theta)\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

Reorder again to fit right side:

[tex]12\cos^2(\theta)-9+4\cos^2(\theta)\tan(\theta)+3\tan^2(\theta)[/tex]

This does match the other side.

The proof is done.

Note: Reordering was done by commutative property.

Answers

Answer:

B. f(n) = 56(0.5)^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

 First, You have to find out the starting population, if you look at the problem you see the population starts at 56

f(x) = 56

Second, you know that the population goes down 50% each week so it has a decay of 0.5

f(x) = 56(0.5)

 Third,  you need to add the exponent of n to make it exponential.  But, if you just add n then the the population would be 28 on week 1 which is incorrect. To fix that you make the exponent n-1 so when you are on week 1 it doesn't become 28 but it stays on 56, and on week 2 it's 28, ect

f(x) = 56(0.5)^n-1

Starting at the same spot on a circular track that is 80 meters in diameter, Hillary and Eugene run in opposite directions, at 300 meters per minute and 240 meters per minute, respectively. They run for 50 minutes. What distance separates Hillary and Eugene when they finish

Answers

Answer:

143.32 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Diameter of circular track = 80m

Hillary's speed = 300m per minute

Eugene's speed = 240m per minute

Run time = 50 minutes

Note: they both run in opposite direction.

Calculate the Circumference(C) of the circle :

C = 2πr or πd

Where r = radius ; d = diameter

Using C = πd

C = πd

C = π * 80

C = 251.327

Eugene's distance covered = (240 * 50) = 12000

Hillary's distance covered = (300 * 50) = 15000

Number turns :

Eugene = 12000/ 251.327 = 47.746561

Hillary = 15000/251.327 = 59.683201

Therefore ;

48 - 47.746561 = 0.253439

60 - 59.683201 = 0.316799

(0.253439+0.316799) = 0.570238

The length of AC is found using the Pythagorean theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2.

In this case your equation would look like 4^2+4^2=c^2.
Four to the power of two is 16 so 16+16=c^2.
16+16=32
32=c^2
Root 32 = c

Length AC is root 32.

AC will be 4√2 when AB = 4 and BC = 4, in the given right triangle.

What is Pythagoras' Theorem?

According to Pythagoras' Theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the length of the longest side, that is, the hypotenuse, that is, the side opposite to the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are given a right triangle, with sides AB = 4 and BC = 4.

We are asked to find AC.

To find AC, we will use the Pythagoras theorem, according to which, we can write:

AC² = AB² + BC²

or, AC² = 4² + 4²,

or, AC² = 16 + 16,

or, AC² = 32,

or, AC = √32,

or, AC = √(16 * 2) = 4√2.

Therefore, AC will be 4√2 when AB = 4 and BC = 4, in the given right triangle.

In ΔABC,

∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180  {Angle sum property of triangle}

 56 + x + x = 180

56 + 2x = 180

        2x = 180 - 56

         2x = 124

           x = 124/2

           x = 62°

∠BAC = ∠BCA =  62°

∠DCF = ∠BCA   {Vertically opposite angles}

∠DCF = 62°

CDEF is a parallelogram.

In parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

∠DEF = ∠DCF

∠DEF = 62°

In a parallelogram, sum of adjacent angles = 180

∠DEF + ∠CDE = 180

Option (1)

For x = -0.75

[tex]2^{-0.75}=1-3^{-0.75}[/tex]

0.59 = 1 - 0.44

0.59 = 0.56

Since, values on both the sides are approximately same.

Therefore, x = -0.75 will be the answer.

Option (2)

For x = -1.25

[tex]2^{-1.25}=1-3^{-1.25}[/tex]

0.42 = 1 - 0.25

0.42 = 0.75

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = -1.25 is not the answer.

Option (3)

For x = 0.75

[tex]2^{0.75}=1-3^{0.75}[/tex]

1.68 = 1 - 2.28

1.68 = -1.28

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = 0.75 is not the answer.

Option (4)

For x = 1.25

[tex]2^{1.25}=1-3^{1.25}[/tex]

2.38 = 1 - 3.95

2.38 = -2.95

It's not true.

Therefore, x = 1.25 is not the answer.

Kareem wants to find the number of hours the average sixth-grader at his school practices an instrument each week. Which is the best way Kareem can get a representative sample?

A. He can randomly survey 50 boys in the school.

B. He can survey 30 students in the school band.

C. He can randomly survey 50 6th graders in the school.

The correct answer is C. He can randomly survey 50 6th graders in the school.

Explanation:

A representative sample is a portion of a population that shows the characteristics of all the population. In this context, for a sample to be representative it needs to include only individuals of the population that is studied. Also, ideally, individuals should be selected randomly as this guarantees the sample is not influenced by the researcher. According to this, option C is the best as this is the only one that focuses on the target population (6th graders) and the sample is random, which contributes to the sample being objective and representing the behavior of 6th-graders.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle os greater than the third side.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

First triangle:

Let a,b and c be the sides of the triangle:

● a = 10

● b = 20

● c = 30

Now let's apply the theorem.

● a+b = 10+20=30

That's equal to the third side (c=30)

●b+c = 50

That's greater than a.

● a+c = 40

That's greater than b.

These aren't the sides of a triangel since the first inequality isn't verified.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Second triangle:

● a = 122

● b = 257

● c = 137

Let's apply the theorem.

● a+b = 379

That's greater than c

● a+c = 259

That's greater than b

● b+c = 394

That's greater than a

So 122,257 and 137 can be sides of a triangle.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The third triangle:

● a = 8.6

● b = 12.2

● c = 2.7

Let's apply the theorem:

● a+b = 20.8

That's greater than c

● b+c = 14.9

That's greater than a

● a+c = 11.3

That isn't greater than b

So theses sides aren't the sides of triangle.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● a = 1/2

● b = 1/5

● c = 1/6

Let's apply the theorem.

● a+b = 7/10

That's greater than c

● a+c = 2/3

That's greater than b

If you invest $600 at 5% interest compounded continuously, how much would you make after 6 years?

Answers

Answer:

809.915$

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of money = Principal x e^(rate x year)

                              = 600 x e^(0.05 x 6)

                              = 809.915$

Answer:

$809.92

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

Recall that the formula for compound interest (compounded continuously) is

A = P e^(rt)

where,

A = final amount (we are asked to find this)

P = principal = given as $600

r = interest rate = 5% = 0.05

t = time = 6 years

e = 2.71828 (mathematical constant)

Substituting the known values into the equation:

A = P e^(rt)

= 600 e^(0.05 x 6)

= 600 (2.71828)^(0.30)

= $809.92

Answer:

x = 19 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6/14 = 7/(x-3)

Using cross products

6 * (x-3) = 7*14

6x -18 = 98

Add 18 to each side

6x-18+18 =98+18

6x = 116

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 116/6

x =58/3

x = 19  1/3

Answer= 58/3

Step by Step

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

6*(x−3)=(7)*(14)

6x−18=98

Step 2: Add 18 to both sides.

6x−18+18=98+18

6x=116

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6x /6 = 116 /6

x= 58 /3

Answer: Always true

===========================================

Explanation:

I'll use x in place of n

Let y = x^2 - 4x + 5

If we complete the square, then,

y = x^2 - 4x + 5

y = (x^2 - 4x) + 5

y = (x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4) + 5

y = (x^2 - 4x + 4) - 4 + 5

y = (x-2)^2 + 1

The quantity (x-2)^2 is never negative as squaring any real number value is never a negative result. Adding on 1 makes the result positive. So y > 0 regardless of whatever x is. Replace x with n, and this shows how n^2 - 4n + 5 is always positive for any integer n.

------------

You could also use the quadratic formula to find that x^2 - 4x + 5 = 0 has no real solutions, so there are no x intercepts. Either the graph is entirely above the x axis or it is entirely below the x axis.

Plug in any x value you want, say x = 0, and the result is positive. Meaning that whatever x value you plug in will be positive (as the graph can't cross the x axis to go into negative territory)
