Step by Step Solution
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(5x26 • x) - 8 = 0Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
2.1 Factoring: 5x27-8
Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes, a3 - b3 can be factored into
(a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)
Proof : (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
a3+0+0-b3 =
a3-b3
Check : 5 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Equation at the end of step 2 :
5x27 - 8 = 0
Step 3 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
3.1 Solve : 5x27-8 = 0
Add 8 to both sides of the equation :
5x27 = 8
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x27 = 8/5 = 1.600
x = 27th root of (8/5)
The equation has one real solution
This solution is x = 27th root of ( 1.600) = 1.01756
One solution was found :
x = 27th root of ( 1.600) = 1.01756How did we do?
