During the second year, the value of the stock decreased by 7%. Write an expression in terms of x that represent the value of the stock after the two years have passed.

Answer 1

1.27x if you don’t believe me go ask your momma

Answer 2

1.27x

Explanation:

We can use the following formula to calculate the value of the stock after two years:

(1+0.37)(1 − 0.07)x

(1+0.37)(1 -0.07) x = 1.27x

The expression in terms of x that represents the value of the stock after the two years have passed is 1.27x.
