The stock of Company A gained 2% today to $79.56. What was the opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day?

$78

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the stock of Company A gained 2% today to $79.56. The opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day will be calculated as:

= [100% / (100% + 2%)] × 79.56

= (100% / 102%) × 79.56

= 1/1.02 × 79.56

= 79.56/1.02

= 78

Therefore, opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day is $78

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   (7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

discussion:

in general, the factorization of a^3 + b^3 is

a^3 + b^ 3 = (a + b) ( a^2 - ab + b^2)

in our case note that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 so the equation becomes:

343x^3 + 216y^3 = (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

if you think of a (above) as 7x and b as 6y the factorization becomes

343x^3 + 216y^3 =

((7x + 6y) (   (7x)^2 - 7x*6y + (6y)^2)   =

(7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)
