Answer:
(a + b + 2c)(a² + 2ab + b² - 2ac - 2bc + 4c²)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(a + b)³ + 8c³ ← this is a sum of cubes and factors in general as
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Thus
(a + b)³ + 8c³
= (a + b)³ + (2c)³
= (a + b + 2c)( (a + b)² - 2c(a + b) + (2c)² )
= (a + b + 2c)(a² + 2ab + b² - 2ac - 2bc + 4c²)

Michelle's step in trying to solve the equation is given below:

Michelle made a mistake in Step 2.
The right hand side of Step 1: 
Rather, the correct sum is:

Answer:
x=-1 1/2,x=-1.5
Step-by-step explanation: x=-3/2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The graph you see there is called a parabola. The general equation for the graph is as below

To find the equation we need to find the constants a and b. The constant b is just how much we're lifting the parabola by. Notice it's lifted by 1 on the y axis.
To find a it's a little more tricky. Let's use the graph to find a value for a by plugging in values we know. We know that b is 1 from the previous step, and we know that when x=1, y=3. Let's use that!

Awesome, we've found both values. And we can write the result.

I'll include a plotted graph with our equation just so you can verify it is indeed the same.
