Your brother is going away to college, so you no longer have to share a bedroom. You decide to redecorate a wall by hanging two new posters on the wall. The wall is 14 feet wide and each poster is four feet wide. You want to place the
posters on the wall so that the distance from the edge of each poster to the nearest edge of the wall is the same as the
distance between the posters, as shown in the diagram below. Determine that distance.
14 Feet
4 Feet
4 Feet

2 feet apart each

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
