Answer:
Explanation:
Move 729 to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides. x 3 − 729 = 0 Factor the left side of the equation. Rewrite 729 as 9
3

2+ab+b2). Where a
=x and b=9. (x−9)(x2+x⋅9+92)=0
. Simplify. Move 9 to the left of x
. (x−9)(x2+9x+92)=0. Raise 9 to the power of 2
. (x

. Set x
−9 equal to 0 and solve for x. Set the factor equal to 0. x−
9=
0. Add 9 to both sides of the equation. x=9
. Set x2+
9
x

81 equal to 0 and solve for x
. Set the factor equal to 0
. x2+9x+81=0. Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions. −b±√b2−4(ac) 2a. Substitute the values a=1, b=9, and c=81 into the quadratic formula and solve for x. −9±√92−4⋅ (1⋅81
) 2⋅
