Evaluate
1+27t3
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
13+(3t)3
Use a3+b3=(a+b)(a2−ab+b2) to factor the expression
(1+3t)(12−1×3t+(3t)2)
1 raised to any power equals to 1
(1+3t)(1−1×3t+(3t)2)
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same

Find the roots
t1=−31,t2=0
Alternative Form
t1=−0.3˙,t2=0
Evaluate
−2t2−9t5×6
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
−2t2−9t5×6=0
Multiply the terms
−2t2−54t5=0
Factor the expression
−2t2(1+27t3)=0
Divide both sides
t2(1+27t3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
t2=01+27t3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
t=01+27t3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1+27t3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
27t3=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
27t3=−1
Divide both sides
2727t3=27−1
Divide the numbers
t3=27−1
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
t3=−271
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3t3=3−271
