Use the product rule an×am=an+m to simplify the expression
x2+1
Add the numbers
x3
x3−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x3=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x3=1
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=31
Calculate
x=31
Solution
x=1
