They model various situations where there is an increasing curve. An example is if you throw a baseball and it curves back down as gravity has more and more of a affect on it. This would be a different equation than if you threw a basketball as the basketball wouldn't go as high but would have about the same downwards acceleration due to gravity.

the real solutions for the equation $x^{3}=-64$ are -

$x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{3}$ = $- 64$

$x^{3} +64$ = 0

We can write 64 as $4^{3}$

$x^{3}$ + $4^{3}$ = 0

using the identity ( $x^{3}+y^{3} = (x+y)(x^{2} -xy+y^{2} )$ )

we get,

= $(x+4) (x^{2} -x*4+4^{2} )$

= $(x+4)(x^{2} -4x+16)$ ....................(1)

solving the quadratic equation ,

$x^{2} -4x+16$ =0

solutions of this quadratic equation can be obtained by

$x=-b +- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } /2a$

let use y for factors

$x=-(-4x)+-\sqrt{(-4x^{2} )-4*x^{2} *16} / 2*x^{2}$

$x=4x+-\sqrt{16x^{2} -64x^{2} } /2x^{2}$

$x=4+-\sqrt{16-64}/2$

$x=4+-4\sqrt{3i} /2$

<u /> $x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}$ ..................(2)

from the equation 1 we have,

$x-4=0$

which gives solution $x=4$

and from equation 2 we got $x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

so the real solutions for the equation $x^{3}=-64$ are -

$x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

If Maya orders a $1.89 drink, 3 cookies at $.99 each, and 2 slices of pizza at $2.50 each. How much did Maya pay for her order?

sweet [91]

Answer:

$9.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Frist you read the problem and you see that she pays $1.89 for one drink

so you write down $1.89

then 3 cookies for $0.99 so you multiply $0.99 by 3 and you get $2.97

so you write down $2.97

next 2 slices of pizza for $2.50 so you multiply 2 by $2.50 and you get $5.00

so you write that down

lastly you and the answers you wrote down and you get $9.86

Maya payed $9.86 for her order.
