Okay, so let's say you're trying to calculate the monthly return of a stock. You have the beginning price of $42.61 for the month, the closing price of $42.09 for the month, and according to Yahoo! Finance a dividend of around 0.195 paid during that time. Which is the right formula to use in calculating this stock's monthly return, and how would I include dividends into the calculation?

f(x)=e^-4x*sin2x, a=0

x=(y^4/8)+(1/4y^2)

1<y<2

Hi there. I am having some problems answering these integrals and would appreciate the help. They each have to do with rational functions and/or integration.

1)Evaluate the integral: 6/(x+a)(x+b) dx (assume that a does not equal b)

2) (x^3-4x-7)/(x^2-x-6) dx from x=0 to x=1

3) 26/(x-1)(x^2+25) dx

4) 7dx/x(x^4+8)

5) 15arctanx/x^2 dx

Thanks for the help.

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 3.5 m/s2 for 4.3 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 7 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 172.33 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the blue car comes to a stop. It takes 137.3 meters for the blue car to travel before its brakes are applied.

What is the acceleration of the blue car once the brakes are applied?

Thanks for helping!

Once again, the integral I is 4sin5xcos8xdx

Thanks for the help!

I keep trying to find the right answer, but whatever I do doesn't work. Thanks for the help!

I'm applying for a college early action style, and when it says "apply by November 2nd," does this mean that I have turn it in before November 2nd or does this mean that November 2nd is the last date to apply for early action?

Thanks a million for answering.

I know it's probably a bit late to be asking fantasy baseball questions on Yahoo! Answers these days, but considering my team is going to be in my league's playoffs next week, I gotta ask anyways.

So, heading into the playoffs, I'm looking pretty solid. This is especially the case with my OF. I've got Kemp, Crawford, Holliday, Upton, Alex Gordon, Franceur, Cuddyer, Mike Carp and Drew Stubbs on my team and able to start (Note: 10 team league). My weakest link is Chris Young. Yeah, he has 17 HRs, 57 RBIs, and 18 SB...but he has a .232 AVG (.119 in the last month), by far the worst of my team, and I have hardly used him in the past few weeks.

I'm thinking of dropping Young, but I don't know for whom. These are currently my top three options:

a. Carlos Beltran: .284, 15 HR, 68 RBI, 65 R, 3 SB

b. Josh Willingham: .249, 22 HR, 73 RBI, 52 R, 4 SB (really hot, but I don't know if it will last)

c. Brennan Boesch: .285, 16 HR, 54 RBI, 74 R, 5 SB

So, what should I do? Who should I pick up? Or is Young still my best option? I would really appreciate your answer!

Alright, so I just did my ten team draft a couple of hours ago and this is the team I ended up drafting:

QB- Brett Favre

RB- Rashad Mendenhall

RB- Jamaal Charles

RB/WR- C.J.Spiller

WR- Randy Moss

WR- Greg Jennings

TE- Vernon Davis

D/ST- Ravens

K- David Aikers

Bench- T.J. Houshmanzadeh (WR)

Bench- Eli Manning (QB)

Bench- Steve Slaton (RB)

Bench- Devin Aromashadu (WR)

Bench- Greg Olsen (TE)

Bench- Saints D/ST

Bench- Rashad Jennings (RB)

So what do you think? Anywhere good? Anywhere bad? Anyone I should drop or try to trade? Please be specific as possible.

It's an interesting debate because while Sweet Lou did lead the Cubs to the playoffs more times than Baker (2>1) and managed one of the best Cubs team of the past fifty years (2008), he never won a playoff game in Chicago while Baker had a Cubs team one win away from a World Series.

Also, this question is only about the two's time as CUBS manager, so Baker's time in San Fransisco or Pinella's time in Cincinnati and Seattle DON'T COUNT in this debate. With that being said, what do you think?

They have to be considered the favorites in the NL, right? They already have Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainright as their starters. Adding Oswalt in the mix just would make that great starting pitching even better. And let's not forget about that offense with Pujols and Holliday!

The trade I've been offered

I get:

Jayson Werth (.342, 7 HR, 27 RBI, 25 R, 2 SB)

Josh Johnson (3 W, 3.06 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 54 Ks)

I give up:

Brett Gardner (.333, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 28 R, 16 SB)

Andy Petite (4 W, 2.08 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 27 K)

I'm willing to give up Petite for Johnson. It's really the Gardner for Werth thing I'm worried about because I don't want to give up my best basestealer. He also leads the league in basestealing, at least eight times more than Werth. What do you think?

Okay, so today one of the players in my league, whether on an error or if he did it on purpose, dropped all of the players in his league except for Miguel Cabrera. That's right, everyone! No joke! They include:

Derek Jeter

Matt Holliday

Jorge Posada

Ryan Doumit

Jorge Cantu

Dan Uggla

Kevin Kouzmanoff

B.J. Upton

Bobby Abreu

Josh Hamilton

Vladimir Guerrero

A.J. Burnett

James Shields

Barry Zito

Scott Kazmir

Nate Robertson

Raul Ibanez

Cody Ross

Martin Prado

Russell Branyan

This means that for whatever reason, all of these players are free agents. So, I'm asking you: who should I pick up for my team? My current roster looks like this:

C- Ivan Rodriguez

1B- Justin Morneau

2B- Alberto Callaspo

3B- Mark Reynolds

SS- Jason Bartlett

2B/SS- Alex Gonzalez

1B/3B- Micheal Young

OF- Matt Kemp

OF- Franklin Gutierrez

OF- Vernon Wells

OF- Brett Gardner

OF- Kosuke Fukudome

UTIL- Erik Aybar

P- Zack Greinke

P- Andrew Bailey (reliever)

P- Fransisco Cordero (reliever)

P- Matt Garza

P- Ryan Franklin (reliever)

P- Clay Buckholz

P- Andy Petite

P- C.C. Sabbathia

P- Colby Lewis

Bench- Derek Lee (1B)

Bench- Kevin Correia (SP)

DL- Brian Roberts

It seems like a pretty good trade to me. I have Alberto Callaspo at 2B right now, who Johnson has been better this season and I have Brian Roberts on the DL. Plus, I have James Shields and Yvoni Gallardo in waivers in my league, so I could easily replace Garza. But I just want to make sure. What do you think?
