Otto's investment portfolio consisted of shares of internet stock and copper stock. during the year, the value of his internet shares increased $10\%$, but the value of his copper shares decreased from $\$10{,}000$ to $\$9{,}000$. during the same year, the total value of his portfolio increased by $6\%$. what was the dollar value of his internet shares at the end of the year?

44000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the initial value of Otto's internet stock, in dollars. At the beginning of the year, the total value of his portfolio is w+10,000 dollars. At the end of the year, the total value of his portfolio is 1.1w+9,000 dollars. Since increasing by 6% is equivalent to multiplying by 1.06, we have

1.06(w+10,000)=1.1w +9,000

Distributing and collecting terms, we find w=40,000. At the end of the year, his internet stock is worth 40,000* 1.1=44,000 dollars.

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
