Is this a
function?
Why or why not? Ty

No, because there isn't a pattern in the numbers. For the y you are adding one but for the x there isn't a shown pattern. Also when graphing the table, it doesn't make a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, look at the table shown. On the x you are adding 1 and for the y you are adding 2. This makes it a function and creates a straight line

step-by-step explanation:

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%
