First, you set up your equation then you put the pieces together to get the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
We have
First, 125 is a perfect cube because
and
x^3 is a perfect cube because
so we can use the difference of cubes identity
Let say we have two perfect cubes:
64 because 8×8×8=64
and 27 because 3×3×3=27 and let subtract
we know that
but using the difference of cubes identity we should get the same thing.
Remeber cube root of 64 is 4 and cube root of 27 is 3 so we have
So the difference of cubes works for real numbers. This is a good way to help remeber the identity using real numbers.
Back on to the topic,
we know that 5 is cube root of 125 and x is the cube root of x^3 so we have
