Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

x=root[213]13=1.0121
x=root[213]{13}=1.0121

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     x^212*x-(13)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

 1.1      Factoring:  x213-13 

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 :  13  is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  x213 - 13  = 0 

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.1      Solve  :    x213-13 = 0 

 
Add  13  to both sides of the equation : 
 
                     x213 = 13
                     x  =  213th root of (13) 

 
The equation has one real solution
This solution is  x = 213th root of 13 = 1.0121

One solution was found :

                   x = 213th root of 13 = 1.0121
