The sum of cubes is given as:
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)

Example for the sum of cubes:

64x³+y³ ⇒ This is the sum of cubes because each term; 64, x³, and y³ are cube numbers

By writing each term as an expression of cube numbers, we have:
(4x)³ + (y)³ ⇒ 64 is 4³
Use the factorization of the sum of cubes, we have:
(4x + y) ( (4x)²- 4xy + y²)
(4x + y) (16x² - 4xy + y²)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The difference of cubes can be factorized as:
(x³ - y³) = (x - y)(x² + xy + y²)

Example
(125x³ - 8y³) = (5x - 2y) ((5x)² + (5x)(2y) + (2y)²)
                     = (5x - 2y) (25x² + 10xy + 4y²)

The data in the table represent the height of an object over
Arada [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following data in the table which represents the height of an object over  time:

Time (s)          Height (ft)

     0                      5

      1                     50

     2                     70

     3                     48

We know that in situation where the values increase and then decreases, a quadratic model is used.

From the values given in the table, we can see that the values of height first increased and then decreased with the increase in time.

Therefore, the model used is quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.
