Agame between two equally skilled players is ended before a winner is declared. player a needs 3 more points to win, and player b needs 2 more points to win. how many possible outcomes of the rest of the game would pierre de fermat have considered in order to determine how to divide the stakes?

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.

any options?
