Question
Figure 5.68 shows P(t), the rate of change of the price of stock in a certain company at time t. (a) At what time during this five-week period was the stock at its highest value? At its lowest value? (b) If P(t) represents the price of the stock, arrange the following quantities in increasing order: P(0), P(1), P(2), P(3), P(4), P(5). 5 P(t) t (weeks) $/share per week Figure 5.68
Solution
The first step in solving 5.5 problem number 12 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 5.68 shows P(t), the rate of change of the price of stock in a certain company at time t. (a) At what time during this five-week period was the stock at its highest value? At its lowest value? (b) If P(t) represents the price of the stock, arrange the following quantities in increasing order: P(0), P(1), P(2), P(3), P(4), P(5). 5 P(t) t (weeks) $/share per week Figure 5.68
