5. 12√3

6. 46 - 14√5

Step-by-step explanation:

5.

We want to simplify these radicals. Look at the first term: -3√3. Well, since 3 is a prime number, we cannot square root any of the factors of 3 further, so this is already in its simplest form.

Look at the next term: 3√12. Remember that 12 = 3 * 4, and 4 = 2², so we can actually write 3√12 as 3 * √3 * √4 = 3 * √3 * 2 = 6√3.

Look at the final term: 3√27. Remember that 27 = 3 * 9 and 9 = 3², so we can write 3√27 as 3 * √3 * √9 = 3 * √3 * 3 = 9√3.

Our new expression is -3√3 + 6√3 + 9√3. We can now combine them because they're like terms: 12√3.

6.

Let's use FOIL to expand this. FOIL is first, outer, inner, and last.

-3 and -2 are the first terms, so multiply them: (-3) * (-2) = 6.

-3 and 2√5 are the outer terms, so multiply them: (-3) * (2√5) = -6√5.

4√5 and -2 are the inner terms, so multiply them: (4√5) * (-2) = -8√5.

4√5 and 2√5 are the last terms, so multiply them: (4√5) * (2√5) = 8 * √25 = 8 * 5 = 40.

Now, add all these up:

6 + (-6√5) + (-8√5) + 40 = 46 - 14√5.

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
