The value of a stock drops 4 points each day for five straight days. What is the net change in the value of the stock? Write your expression and represent the daily change in value as an integer. (3 points)
okay, can you add -4 five times? Each day's loss is added to the total so far, right?
Can you multiply -4 times 5?
it doesn't make any sense
To find the net change in the value of the stock, we need to calculate the total change in value over the five days.
Given that the value of the stock drops 4 points each day for five straight days, we can represent the daily change in value as -4 (since it is a decrease).
The expression for the net change in the value of the stock is obtained by multiplying the daily change (-4) by the number of days (5):
Net Change = Daily Change x Number of Days
= -4 x 5
= -20
Therefore, the net change in the value of the stock is -20 points.
