1. Lin's family is out for a bike ride when her dad stops to take a picture of the scenery. He tells the rest of the family to keep going and that he'll catch up. Lin's dad spends 5 minutes taking the photo and then rides at
0.24 miles per minute until he meets up with the rest of the family further along the bike path. Lin and the
rest were riding at 0.18 miles per minute.

y= -

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.
