Chapter 3 Problem 60 Page 133 Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share a company pays divided by the current market price per share expressed as a percentage. A sample of 10 large companies provided the following dividend yield data (The Wall Street Journal‚ January 16‚ 2004). Company | Yield % | Company | Yield % | Altria Group | 5.0 | General Motors | 3.7 | American Express | 0.8 | JP Morgan Chase | 3.5 | Caterpillar | 1.8 | McDonald’s | 1.6 | Eastman Kodak | 1.9 | United Technology

Question 1 Determine the slope for line 2x+12y-6=0 2x+12y=6 12y=-2x+6 y=-2x/12+6/12 y=-x/6+1/2 ∴m=-1/6 Find the slope of the required line‚ which is "m" (-1/6)("m" )=-1 (m)=6 Now‚ substitute m=6 into equation y=mx+c ‚i.e. y=6x+c. This line passed through point (2‚4). So‚ we substitute x=2‚y=4 into y=6x+c. 4=6(2)+c 4-12=c c=-8 ∴ The equation of the straight line that we are looking for is y=6x-8

As students‚ we are taught the basics about mathematics. What the core properties of addition‚ subtraction‚ multiplication and division mean. How they work‚ and if we are lucky‚ we go into a little history of these methods. For those of us who have learned history‚ we learned that the basis for modern mathematics came from the Greeks and their writings. While this is correct‚ to truly understand the historical aspect of mathematics and its origins‚ one must study a time before the Greeks‚ when math

Ancient India Technology In ancient Indian mathematics was known by the general name of Ganita‚ which included arithmetic‚ geometry‚ algebra‚ astronomy and astrology. It was Aryabhatta‚ who gave a new direction to trigonometry. The decimal system too was an innovation of India. By the third century B.C. mathematics‚ astronomy and medicine began to develop separately. In the field of mathematics ancient Indians made three distinct contributions‚ the notation system‚ the decimal system and the use

Contribution of India in mathematics The most fundamental contribution of India in mathematics is the invention of decimal system of enumeration‚ including the invention of zero. The decimal system uses nine digits (1 to 9) and the symbol zero (for nothing) to denote all natural numbers by assigning a place value to the digits. The Arabs carried this system to Africa and Europe. 1) Aryabhata is the first well known Indian mathematician. Born in Kerala‚ he completed his studies at the university

HOW TO SUCCEED IN MATHEMATICS. Step 1: Hard work trump’s natural talent. As in most everything ‚ the people who are most successful in mathematics are the one who work the hardest ‚ not those with “natural talent’’ in school‚ those who work hard get better grade in mathematics than the ‘’smart’’ students whom just coast .Most aspect of mathematics can only be learnt by hand practice. This holds true whether you want to develop your problem solving abilities or your computational skills. No one

Mathematics is the abstract study of topics such as quantity (numbers)‚ Structures‚ Space and Change. Mathematics is a science which draws necessary conclusions. It is a broad ranging field of study in which the properties and interactions of idealized objects are examined. As we already know‚ Mathematics is becoming more and more useful to Geologists. Mathematical Geology can be an essential aid in formulating models and scientific theories to bring together different geological phenomena. Geomagnetic
