Briefly describe what happens when the Federal Reserve does the following. a. Buys a Treasury bond from a bank:

b. Sells a Treasury bond to a bank:

a

Explanation:

We are given to explain the effect on the interest rate that bank will charge its customer for a loan if the bank buys a treasury bond from the federal reserve.

Since the bank is buying a treasury bond from the federal reserve, so it is obvious that the bank has very less amount of funds. Because of that it has to buy from the federal reserve. Therefore, to increase the funds, the bank will definitely charge more interest from its customers.

Thus, the bank will increase interest rate that it will charge its customers for a loan because of the fewer funds available.

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

the density would be a smaller number.
