Answer:

$599

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Discount- 40% off on original price.

Gift card= $25

Total cost before taxes is $334.40

Lets assume the original price be "x".

We know there is 40% on original price and Perry uses $25 gift card.

Remember; Total cost= $Original\ price- discount- gift\ card$

Now, finding the original price of Iphone.

⇒ $x-0.40x-25= 334.40$

⇒ $0.60x-25= 334.40$

Adding both side by 25

⇒ $0.60x= 334.40+25$

⇒ $0.60x= 359.4$

Dividing both side by 0.60

⇒ $x= \frac{359.4}{0.60}$

∴ $x= 599$

Hence, the original price of iphone is $599

Help please!!!!!!!!!

REY [17]

Since all triangle's angle's values add up 180 degrees, this means we have to make sure to angles add up to 180.

A. 75 + 35 = 110. 180 - 110 = 70 degrees.

B. This triangle is isosceles meaning 2 of its sides is the same length. In this case, the two sides add up to 140 (meaning they are both 70 degrees). 180 - 140 = 40 degrees.

C. I sadly don't know how to solve it.

D. This is another isosceles triangle. 180 - 36 = 144.

The number is made 1,000 times greater and so the units must be made 1,000 times smaller. The answer is "A" milligrams.

Find the solutions to x⁴-5x²-36=0 and the x-intercepts of the graph of y=x⁴-5x²-36.

disa [49]

Answer:

The solutions $x^4-5x^2-36=0$ are $x=3,\:x=-3,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i$ and the x-intercepts of $y=x^4-5x^2-36$ are $x=3,\:x=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the solutions to $x^4-5x^2-36$ means finding the roots, a root is where the function is equal to zero.

The x-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is zero.

To find the roots you need to:

Rewrite the equation with $u=x^2$ and $u^2=x^4$

$u^2-5u-36=0$

Solve by factoring

$\mathrm{Break\:the\:expression\:into\:groups}\\u^2-5u-36=\left(u^2+4u\right)+\left(-9u-36\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:}u\mathrm{\:from\:}u^2+4u=u\left(u+4\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:}-9\mathrm{\:from\:}-9u-36=-9\left(u+4\right)$

$u^2-5u-36=u\left(u+4\right)-9\left(u+4\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}u+4\\\left(u+4\right)\left(u-9\right)$

$u^2-5u-36=\left(u+4\right)\left(u-9\right)=0$

Using the Zero factor Theorem: if ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0 (or both a = 0 and b = 0)

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

$\:u=-4,\:u=9$

Substitute back $u=x^2$ , solve for x

$x^4-5x^2-36=(u-9)(u+4)=(x^2-9)(x^2+4)$

Apply the difference of squares formula

$x^4-5x^2-36=(x^2-9)(x^2+4)=(x-3)(x+3)(x^2+4)$

$(x-3)(x+3)(x^2+4)=0$

Using the Zero factor Theorem: if ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0 (or both a = 0 and b = 0)

The solutions are:

$\:x=3,\:x=-3,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i$

Because two of the solutions are complex roots the only x-intercepts are $x=3,\:x=-3$
