the closing price of a stock gained 8 points on Monday, lost 6 points on Tuesday, lost 1 point on Wednesday, gained 4 points on Thursday and lost 5 points on Friday. what was the net gain or loss for the week?

To find the net gain or loss for the week, we need to add up the daily changes in the stock's closing price:

1. **Monday:** Gained 8 points (\(+8\))
2. **Tuesday:** Lost 6 points (\(-6\))
3. **Wednesday:** Lost 1 point (\(-1\))
4. **Thursday:** Gained 4 points (\(+4\))
5. **Friday:** Lost 5 points (\(-5\))

Now, sum all these changes:

\[
8 - 6 - 1 + 4 - 5 = 0
\]

The net gain or loss for the week is **0 points**, meaning there was no net change in the stock's closing price for the week.
