Dear Jake, Please consult https://sites.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/Hist21/q6S.pdf for the full solutions. You got 7 points (out of 10). For #4 you used a differemt method than waht I taught, that is perfectly OK, but you messed up the caluclations and got wrong answers. You should have checked at least that the root x=3 that you got was wrong by plugging-in the cubic and realizing that it was an error. Best wishes, Dr. Z.
