Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
2.1 Factoring: 4x3-3
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 : 4 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Polynomial Roots Calculator :
2.2 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = 4x3-3
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 4 and the Trailing Constant is -3.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1,2 ,4
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,3
Let us test ....

Equation at the end of step 2 :
4x3 - 3 = 0
Step 3 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
3.1 Solve : 4x3-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
4x3 = 3
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x3 = 3/4 = 0.750
When two things are equal, their cube roots are equal. Taking the cube root of the two sides of the equation we get:
x = ∛ 3/4
The equation has one real solution
This solution is x = ∛ 0.750 = 0.90856
One solution was found :
x = ∛ 0.750 = 0.90856How did we do?
