Step by Step Solution

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.4" was replaced by "(4/10)".

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     3780-((4/10)*x^3)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            2
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

           2
  3780 -  (— • x3)  = 0 
           5

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

          2x3
  3780 -  ———  = 0 
           5 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

             3780     3780 • 5
     3780 =  ————  =  ————————
              1          5    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 3780 • 5 - (2x3)     18900 - 2x3
 ————————————————  =  ———————————
        5                  5     

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   18900 - 2x3  =   -2 • (x3 - 9450) 

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

 4.2      Factoring:  x3 - 9450 

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 :  9450  is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

 4.3    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(x) = x3 - 9450
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  x  for which   F(x)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  x  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  1  and the Trailing Constant is  -9450.

 
The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1
 
of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,2 ,3 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,9 ,10 ,14 ,15 , etc

 
Let us test ....

  P  Q  P/Q  F(P/Q)   Divisor
     -1     1      -1.00     -9451.00   
     -2     1      -2.00     -9458.00   
     -3     1      -3.00     -9477.00   
     -5     1      -5.00     -9575.00   
     -6     1      -6.00     -9666.00

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  -2 • (x3 - 9450)
  ————————————————  = 0 
         5        

Step  5  :

When a fraction equals zero :

 5.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

  -2•(x3-9450)
  ———————————— • 5 = 0 • 5
       5      

Now, on the left hand side, the  5  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   -2  •  (x3-9450)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

 5.2      Solve :    -2   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.3      Solve  :    x3-9450 = 0 

 
Add  9450  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     x3 = 9450
When two things are equal, their cube roots are equal. Taking the cube root of the two sides of the equation we get:  
 
                     x  =  ∛ 9450  

 
Can  ∛ 9450 be simplified ?

Yes!   The prime factorization of  9450   is
   2•3•3•3•5•5•7 
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be  3  instances of it (because we are taking a cube i.e. cube root).

9450   =  ∛ 2•3•3•3•5•5•7   =
                3 • ∛ 350


The equation has one real solution
This solution is  x = 3 • ∛350 = 21.1419

One solution was found :

                   x = 3 • ∛350 = 21.1419
