Construct an explicit rule in function notation for the arithmetic sequence. Then determine the value of the given term, and explain what it means.
To package and ship an item, it costs $6.25 for the first pound and $1.25 for each additional pound.
Find the 9th term, and explain what it represents.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

imma say 16%. sorry if its wrong. i'm doing the same stuff right now

step-by-step explanation:

the rocket cannot penetrate the ground, in a contextual sense, therefore the roots of this equation should be the domain of this function. i'll let you find the roots of this quadratic equation (hint: use the quadratic formula:  

1- c

2-a
