Mrs. Adele is buying a new tie from Macy's. It says the tie costs $15.00 but there is a sign above it that
says 25% off. How much will the tie cost?

$11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the original cost and multiply it by 0.25 for 25%. You get 3.75. Then you subtract 3.75 from 15.00. The answer is $11.25

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.
