To prove that [tex]\(2x^3 - 6x = 5\)[/tex] given that [tex]\(x = 2^{1/3} + 2^{-1/3}\)[/tex], we can break down the problem into several steps involving algebraic manipulation and simplification.
Let us start with the given value:
[tex]\[ x = 2^{1/3} + 2^{-1/3} \][/tex]
We need to find [tex]\(x^3\)[/tex] and then simplify [tex]\(2x^3 - 6x\)[/tex].
### Step 1: Cubing [tex]\(x\)[/tex]
First, express [tex]\(x^3\)[/tex] in terms of [tex]\(2^{1/3}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(2^{-1/3}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 2^{1/3} + 2^{-1/3} \][/tex]
To cube [tex]\(x\)[/tex], use the binomial expansion:
[tex]\[ x^3 = (2^{1/3} + 2^{-1/3})^3 \][/tex]
Expanding the cube using the binomial theorem gives:
[tex]\[ x^3 = (2^{1/3})^3 + 3 \cdot (2^{1/3})^2 \cdot (2^{-1/3}) + 3 \cdot (2^{1/3}) \cdot (2^{-1/3})^2 + (2^{-1/3})^3 \][/tex]
Simplify each term:
[tex]\[ (2^{1/3})^3 = 2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (2^{-1/3})^3 = 2^{-1} = \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (2^{1/3})^2 \cdot 2^{-1/3} = 2^{2/3} \cdot 2^{-1/3} = 2^{1/3} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2^{1/3} \cdot (2^{-1/3})^2 = 2^{1/3} \cdot 2^{-2/3} = 2^{-1/3} \][/tex]
Putting it all together:
[tex]\[ x^3 = 2 + 3(2^{1/3}) + 3(2^{-1/3}) + \frac{1}{2} = 2 + 3 \cdot 2^{1/3} \cdot 2^{-1/3} + 3 \cdot 2^{-1/3} + \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]
Note that [tex]\(2^{1/3} \cdot 2^{-1/3}= 1\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x^3 = 2 + 3 \left(1 + 2^{1/3} + 2^{-1/3}\right) + \frac{1}{2}\][/tex]
Simplify further:
[tex]\[ x^3 = 2 + 3 \cdot 1 + 3\left( 2^{1/3} + 2^{-1/3}\right) + \frac{1}{2} = 2 + 3 + 3x + \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x^3 = 5 + 3x \][/tex]
### Step 2: Form the expression [tex]\(2x^3 - 6x\)[/tex]
Now substitute [tex]\(x^3\)[/tex] into the expression [tex]\( 2x^3 - 6x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2x^3 = 2(5 + 3x) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2x^3 = 10 + 6x \][/tex]
Therefore, the expression becomes:
[tex]\[ 2x^3 - 6x = (10 + 6x) - 6x \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2x^3 - 6x = 10\][/tex]
Since there might be an error in algebraic steps or terms let's recheck:
Review revised power distribution and check constants.
Observe that correctly,
[tex]\[x^3 = 5 + 3x\][/tex]
Then:
Plugging,
