2. Express the number 1750 as a product of prime factors of the form:
p * qr * s

9514 1404 393

  1750 = 2 · 5³ · 7

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often helpful to start with divisibility rules when finding prime factors of a small composite number.

The least-significant digit is even, so we know 2 is a factor.

  1750/2 = 875

The least significant digit is 5, so we know 5 is a factor.

  875/5 = 175

  175/5 = 35

  35/5 = 7

7 is a prime number, so we're done.

The factorization is ...

  1750 = 2 · 5³ · 7

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%
