(x - 2) (x^{2} + x \times 2 + 2^{2})

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

(x - 2) (x^{2} + 2 x + 2^{2})

Evaluate

(x - 2) (x^{2} + 2 x + 4)

2 (x - 2) (x^{2} + 2 x + 4)

Show Solution

x = 2

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 2 x - 16

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

x^{2} \times 2 x - 16 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Multiply the terms

x^{2} \times 2 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{2 + 1} \times 2

Add the numbers

x^{3} \times 2

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

2 x^{3}

2 x^{3} - 16 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

2 x^{3} = 0 + 16

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

2 x^{3} = 16

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x ^{3}}{2} = \frac{16}{2}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{16}{2}

Divide the numbers

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{16}{2}

Reduce the numbers

\frac{8}{1}

Calculate

8

x^{3} = 8

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 38

Calculate

x = 38
