4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.

{a}^{3}  -  {b}^{3}  = (a - b)( {a}^{2}  + ab +  {b}^{2} )

Cube root of x^3 is x.

Cube root of 8 is 2

So

a=x

b= 2.

(x - 2)( {x}^{2}  - 2x + 4)

Set these equations equal to zero

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

{x}^{2}  - 2x + 4 = 0

If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,

Thus the only real root is 2.

If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.

1 + i  \sqrt{ 3 }

and

1 - i \sqrt{3}

Stella [2.4K]

In this question , it is given that

A painter charges by the square foot and charges you $1,875 to paint a 750 square foot rental house.

For 750 square foot, he charges $1875.

So for 1 square foot, he charges

= \frac{1875}{750} = $2.50 \ \per \ square \ foot

And for 1300 square foot, he charges

= 2.50*1300 = $3250
