Evaluate
r3−1
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
r3−13
Use a3−b3=(a−b)(a2+ab+b2) to factor the expression
(r−1)(r2+r×1+12)
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
(r−1)(r2+r+12)
1 raised to any power equals to 1
(r−1)(r2+r+1)
2(r−1)(r2+r+1)

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
2r3
2r3−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2r3=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2r3=2
Divide both sides
22r3=22
Divide the numbers
r3=22
