Work: So, The first thing I did was 9 (Whole Number) times the Denominator. After the Multiplication, I had gotten 72. I added 72 by the numerator which is 79. Then, I divided 79 by the denominator, and I had gotten 9.875, and I rounded it up to 9.88
I hope this helps, and you get this question correct. :)
If you know the formular a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2), you can solve this problem. 8 is 2 cubed, so x^3+2^3=(x+2)(x^2-2x+4) so the other quadratic factor is x^2-2x+4
