16. Yield. The yield of a stock is given by
D
Y(D, P) =
where D is the dividend per share of stock and P is the
price per share. On April 1, 2014, the price per share of
Texas Instruments stock was $47.53, and the dividend
per share was $1.20. (Source: yahoo.finance.com.) Find
the yield. Use percent notation rounded to the nearest
hundredth of a percent.
The percent p of prescription filled with generic drugs at a large pharmacy chain from 2008 to 2014 can be approximated by the model where t represents the year,t=8 corresponding to 2008. Use this model to find the percent of prescriptions filled with generic drugs from 2008 through 2014.
