Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((3•7y2) • y) - 2Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
2.1 Factoring: 21y3-2
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 : 21 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(y) = 21y3-2
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of y for which F(y)=0
Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers y 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 21 and the Trailing Constant is -2.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1,3 ,7 ,21
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,2
Let us test ....
