Step by Step Solution
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
 1.1      Factoring:  x27-40 
 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 :  40  is not a cube !! 
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Equation at the end of step 1 :
  x27 - 40  = 0 
Step 2 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
 2.1      Solve  :    x27-40 = 0 
 Add  40  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x27 = 40 
                     x  =  27th root of (40) 
 The equation has one real solution
This solution is  x = 27th root of 40 = 1.1464 
One solution was found :
x = 27th root of 40 = 1.1464How did we do?
