Holy shit, someone help with this simple algebra problem.

[chewyxrage]

It's a problem I derived from a finance formula, I cannot for the life of me get the solution. I know it's simple, my mind is blank.


18 = KRF + (14-KRF)(1.4)


the solution is 4.

 

[BrothaBill]

not following, solution of four for what?
K, R or F?

18 = KRF + (14-KRF)(1.4)


the solution is 4.

distribute the 1.4

18 = KRF + 14x1.4 - 1.4 KRF

combine like terms

18 = -.4 KRF + 19.6

-1.6 = -.4 KRF
KRF = 4

 

[JarheadChiro]

18 = KRF + (14-KRF)(1.4)


the solution is 4.

18 = 4 + (14-4)(1.4)

18 = 4 + (10)(1.4)

18 = 4 + 14

KRF = 4


Yes?

 

[chewyxrage]

lol, that's what I missing, dist. the 1.4

thanks. I will slap myself now.

it couldnt be that simple could it? He'd have to be a complete....lol jk

stop studying when youre drunk and stoned bro...its embarrassing

18 = KRF + (14-KRF)(1.4)


the solution is 4.

18 = x + (14 - x)(1.4)

18 - x = 19.6 - 1.4x

18 - 19.6 = -1.4x + x

-1.6 = -.4x

4 = x

Man I could have used this kinda help when I was doing redox equations

Here's one for you BB:

Brothabill Manufacturing paid a dividend last year of $2, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. Brothabill has a beta of 1.3. If the market is returning 11% and the risk-free rate is 4%, calculate the value of Brothabill's stock.


err bran you can't answer.

lol, I left the classroom too far gone, the only calculations I make are aortic valve areas and pressure equations of the cardiac system. If I started to think finance, my brain would melt, plus, I dont know the lingo of beta, which means something different to me that it would to a financial person. Although I did have a series 7 and 63 license

ok I won't

hint for BB: Think growing perpetuity

 

[Raptorex]

a+b=c

solve for b

 

[chewyxrage]

a+b=c

solve for b

d?

think Chaga's disease, lol, different fields of expertise, simple algebra is one thing but mixing in different jargon lol, Im not going to even go near the google search to look up a word

 

[samoth]

LOL, I do this sorta thing more often than I'd like, too.

It usually means you need to take a 5-10 minute break from HW... I try to do this every 1-2 hours, as it helps me stay focused.

This thread also reminds me I need to start studying for the GRE gen math section, lol. This is exactly why people can easily screw it up.

solve for b

Let a be considered trivial.

Therefore, b = c.

Exactly. After spending a few hours with my face a foot away from a notebook scribbling problems and I get stuck on something like that...a bit annoying...
