Which function is equivalent to the following
function?

B

For example, x to the power of 1/2 can be rewritten as the square root of x. Any number to the power of a fraction that has a numerator of one can just be rewritten with a radical, with the number underneath and the denominator of the fraction outside the radical. For the above problem, the 5 (numerator of fraction) can just be written as x to the power of 5, such as inside the radical in choice B. But the 7 must be outside, since x to the power of 1/7 is just X to the root of 7.

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
