Question

The concept of the integral arose from the need to calculate the area of a curved region. For example, calculating the area delimited by the region above the x-axis and below the graph of the function f(x) = x3 in a given limited interval is not such a simple task if we consider the knowledge acquired throughout basic education. But the definition of Definite Integral allows us to obtain this area precisely. Thus, given the function f(x) = x3, the area of the region below the graph of f, above the x-axis in the interval from 0 to 2 is equal to.

1. \ \text{Evaluate the definite integral of the function:}
A = \int_{0}^{2} x^3 \, dx

2. \ \text{Find the antiderivative of} \ x^3:
\int x^3 \, dx = \frac{x^4}{4}

3. \ \text{Apply the limits of integration} \ (0 \ \text{to} \ 2):
A = \left[ \frac{x^4}{4} \right]_{0}^{2}

4. \ \text{Evaluate the antiderivative at the upper limit (2) and lower limit (0):}
A = \frac{2^4}{4} - \frac{0^4}{4}

5. \ \text{Simplify the expression:}
A = \frac{16}{4} - 0

6. \ \text{Finish the calculation:}
A = 4

\text{Therefore, the area is} \ 4

A mutual fund manager has a $350 million portfolio with a beta of 1.10. The risk-free rate is 3.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. The manager expects to receive an additional $150 million which she plans to invest in several different stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants to reduce the portfolio’s risk level so that once the additional funds are invested the portfolio’s required return will be 9.20%. What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be (not the new portfolio’s beta) to achieve the desired required rate of return?
