Homer is giving some cookies to each of his three brothers. To the oldest, he gives
half of the cookies and half a cookie. He
then gives half of what is left and half a
cookie to his second brother. Finally, he
gives half of what is now left and half a
cookie to his youngest brother. At no
time is a cookie broken or cut. How many
cookies did Homer have to begin with?
(HINT: Work backwards.)

answer: i can’t tell you that

step-by-step explanation:

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.

853.3
