Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•3x2) • x) - 1Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
 2.1      Factoring:  6x3-1 
 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 :  6  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) = 6x3-1
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  6  and the Trailing Constant is  -1. 
 The factor(s) are: 
of the Leading Coefficient :  1,2 ,3 ,6 
 of the Trailing Constant :  1 
 Let us test ....
