Evaluate
n3+1
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
n3+13
Use a3+b3=(a+b)(a2−ab+b2) to factor the expression
(n+1)(n2−n×1+12)
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
(n+1)(n2−n+12)
1 raised to any power equals to 1

Find the roots
n1=−1,n2=1
Evaluate
n6×4−4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
n6×4−4=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
4n6−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4n6=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4n6=4
Divide both sides
44n6=44
Divide the numbers
n6=44
