Concept explainers
Here we celebrate the power of algebra as a powerful way of finding unknown quantities by naming them, of expressing infinitely many relationships and connections clearly and succinetly, and of uncovering pattern and structure.
For all
? Look at the graphs for the previous Mindscape. Which functions have the property that you could pick any value, call it b, between 0 and 2 on the
-axis and find a value on the
-axis, call it a, so that the b is the value corresponding to a?

- A clothing manufacturer's profitability can be modeled by p (x)=-x4 + 40x² - 144, where .x is the number of items sold in thousands and p (x) is the company's profit in thousands of dollars. a. Sketch the function on your calculator and describe the end behavior. b. Determine the zeros of the function. c. Between what two values should the company sell in order to be profitable? d. Explain why only two of the zeros are considered in part c.arrow_forwardCCSS REASONING The number of subscribers using pagers in the United States can be modeled by f(x) = 0.015x4 -0.44x³ +3.46x² - 2.7x+9.68 where x is the number of years after 1990 and f(x) is the number of subscribers in millions. a. Graph the function. b. Describe the end behavior of the graph. c. What does the end behavior suggest about the number of pager subscribers? d. Will this trend continue indefinitely?

An American option on a stock has payoff given by F = f(St) when it is exercised at time t. We know that the function f is convex.

- Question 4. We consider a CRR model with So == 5 and up and down factors u = 1.03 and d = 0.96. We consider the interest rate r = 4% (over one period). Is this a suitable CRR model? (Explain your answer.)arrow_forwardQuestion 3. We want to price a put option with strike price K and expiration T. Two financial advisors estimate the parameters with two different statistical methods: they obtain the same return rate μ, the same volatility σ, but the first advisor has interest r₁ and the second advisor has interest rate r2 (r1>r2). They both use a CRR model with the same number of periods to price the option. Which advisor will get the larger price? (Explain your answer.)arrow_forwardQuestion 5. We consider a put option with strike price K and expiration T. This option is priced using a 1-period CRR model. We consider r > 0, and σ > 0 very large. What is the approximate price of the option? In other words, what is the limit of the price of the option as σ∞. (Briefly justify your answer.)arrow_forward
