Following the financial crisis in 2008, the federal reserve began injecting the banking system with massive amounts of liquidity, and at the same time, very little lending occurred. as a result, the m1 money multiplier was below 1 for most of the time from october 2008 through 2011. how does this relate to your answer to the previous step?

In situation where, large amounts of federal reserves enter the banking system (resulting in large amount of liquidity) but the federal reserves are withheld by the banking system it would form excess reserves. This withholding of reserves would most likely lead to the money multiplier(M1) to fall below one.

As there is a direct relationship between the banking system reserves and the money multiplier.

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

equating the expression for area to the given area

2x² - 7x - 4 = 45 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 49 = 0 ← in standard form

to factor consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 49 = - 98 and sum = - 7

the factors are - 14 and + 7

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² - 14x + 7x - 49 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 7) + 7(x - 7) = 0 ← factor out (x - 7)

(x - 7)(2x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = -

thus the positive value for x is x = 7
