Step by Step Solution
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
1.1 Factoring: x27-16
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 : 16 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Equation at the end of step 1 :
x27 - 16 = 0
Step 2 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.1 Solve : x27-16 = 0
Add 16 to both sides of the equation :
x27 = 16
x = 27th root of (16)
The equation has one real solution
This solution is x = 27th root of 16 = 1.1081
One solution was found :
x = 27th root of 16 = 1.1081How did we do?
