The cost price of the table is $40.

<h3>What is Gain ?</h3>

Gain is the amount gain by selling the product at a higher price than its cost.

Let the cost of the table is $ x

The percentage gain is x%  (as given in the question)

Cost price = ?

It is known that

Step 1 : Gain = ( selling Price - Cost Price) * 100 / Cost Price

Selling price = 56

Cost Price = $ x

Therefore substituting the value

x = (56 - x) * 100 / x

x² = 5600 - 100x

x² +100x -5600 = 0

Step 2 : Factorizing

x² + 140x - 40 x -5600 = 0

x( x+14 ) -40( x +14) = 0

( x - 40)(x +14) = 0

x = $40

Therefore the cost price of the table is $40.

Which shows 0.00234 written in scientific notation?
topjm [15]
It’s D


the reason why is because the multiplier must be between 1 and 10
(
1
≤
x
≤
10
)
so first more your decimal there which you get:
2.34
then just count how many numbers the decimal jumped, if the decimal moved left the exponent is positive and if it moved right, as in your number, the exponent is negative

yours moved 3

Graph f(x) = 2x^4+3 <br> let x = 0, 1, and 2.<br> please show your work
mestny [16]
Sub those points for x
f(x) is the y

(x,y)

so for x=0
f(0)=2(0)^4+3
f(0)=0+3
f(0)=3
(0,3) is a opint

for x=1
f(1)=2(1)^4+3
f(1)=2(1)+3
f(1)=2+3
f(1)=5
(1,5) is another point

for x=2
f(2)=2(2^4)+3
f(2)=2(16)+3
f(2)=32+3
f(2)=35
(2,35) is another point


points are
(0,3)
(1,5)
(2,35)

How do I solve this problem? I need to find the volume of this composite figure.
andrey2020 [161]

Step-by-step explanation:

V = (12*4*5) + (2*3*5) + (5*3*5) + (12*4*5)

V = 240 + 30 + 75 + 240

V = 585 cm^3
