The crazy 80’s baby goes shopping for ingredients at the grocery store. for every 7 carrots that he sees at the store, 2 are rotten. if there are 21 carrots at the store how many are rotten?

1. d.90

2. e. none of these (80)

3. a. 0

4. b. 6

5. e. none of these (10)

6. a. 5

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
