Step by Step Solution
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2x26 • x) - 36 = 0Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
2x27 - 36 = 2 • (x27 - 18)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
3.2 Factoring: x27 - 18
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 : 18 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Equation at the end of step 3 :
2 • (x27 - 18) = 0
Step 4 :
Equations which are never true :
4.1 Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
4.2 Solve : x27-18 = 0
Add 18 to both sides of the equation :
x27 = 18
x = 27th root of (18)
The equation has one real solution
This solution is x = 27th root of 18 = 1.1130
One solution was found :
x = 27th root of 18 = 1.1130How did we do?
