The first five terms in a pattern are shown below. -0.5, -0.25, 0 , 0.25, 0.5, . . . Which equation represents the pattern?

x + 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, x is representing an integer ( - 0.5, - 0.75, 0, 0.25) whilst 0.25 is a constant

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.

answer: c

(2, -4)

goes 7 to the

(9, 4)
