Question Factor the expression (s−2)(s2+2s+4) Evaluate s3−8Rewrite the expression in exponential form s3−23Use a3−b3=(a−b)(a2+ab+b2) to factor the expression (s−2)(s2+s×2+22)Use the commutative property to reorder the terms (s−2)(s2+2s+22)Solution (s−2)(s2+2s+4) Show Solution Find the roots s=2 Evaluate s3−8To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 s3−8=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign s3=0+8Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression s3=8Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation 3s3=38Calculate s=38Solution More Steps Evaluate 38Write the number in exponential form with the base of 2 323Reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 3 2 s=2 Show Solution
