You collect 48 pieces of halloween candy. your parents say you can eat 2 pieces per day, plus an extra piece on saturdays and sundays. how many weeks will it take to finish all of your candy?

3 weeks to eat all the candy

Step-by-step explanation:

You eat 16 pieces of candy every week ( 3 on Sunday and Saturday, 2 on Monday-Friday). Every week equals 16 pieces eaten.

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.
