Find the roots
x=4
Evaluate
(x−1)3−27
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x−1)3−27=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
(x−1)3=0+27
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
(x−1)3=27
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3(x−1)3=327
Calculate
x−1=327
