How do I factor x3 – 27?

Question

(The x3 is x to the third power. Not three times x)

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Accepted Answer

x^3 – 27x^3 – 3^3 (x – 3)(x^2 + 3x + 9)Remember these formulas,x^3 + a^3 = (x + a)(x^2 – ax + a^2)x^3 – a^3 = (x – a)(x^2 + ax + a^2)2.) Not a big difference, just switch them, 27 – x^33^3 – x^3(3 – x)(9 – 3x + x^2)

Factoring X 3

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

x^3 – 27 = (x – 3) (x^2 + 3x + 9)it is an example of special products called difference of cubes..x^3 – 27 = x^3 – 3^3applying the solution:x^3 – y^3 = (x – y) (x^2 + xy + y^2)it will become…x^3 – 3^3 = (x – 3) (x^2 + 3x + 9)

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

You can factor a term like x^3 – a^3 as (x-a1)(x-a2)(x-a3), where a1, a2, a3 are the three cube roots of a^3, i.e. a, -a/2(1+i root(3)), and -a/2(1-i root(3)). Thus, x^3-27 factors into (x-3)(x+3/2((1+i root(3))(x+3/2((1-i root(3))As to your second question, this is just the negative of the first expression, so you multiply the factorization I gave above by -1.Al the answers above are correct, but mine is the only complete factorization.

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

The main formula is a^3 – b^ 3 = (a – b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)We apply the same procedure here and plug in the respective values for “a” and “b”So its: (x – 3)(x^2 + 3x + 9)There it is…factored!

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

https://shorturl.im/axzRJx3 + 27 is the sum of cubes, so use the rule for factoring the sum of cubes: (x + 3)(x2 – 3x + 9)

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

difference of perfect cubesa^3 – b^3 = (a – b) (a^2 + ab + b^2)x^3 – 3^3(x – 3) (x^2 + 3x + 9)

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

a^3 – b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)so:x^3 – 27 = (x-3)(x^2 + 3x + 9)

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

x^3 – 27x^3 – 3^3(x – 3)(x^2 + 3x + 9)x^3 + a^3 = (x + a)(x^2 – ax + a^2)x^3 – a^3 = (x – a)(x^2 + ax + a^2)

Mr. Frankie Stiedemann · Answer

x3-27=0=x3-3×2+3×2-9x+9x-27=(x-3)(x2+3x+9)x=3
