help @Hero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
please!

Hello???????
hero (hero):
Hint: set y = 0 and solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 0=(x-12)^3-7
0=x^3-12^3-7
0=x^3-1728-7
0=x^3-1721

i don't think hero do the expansion of (x-12)^3 right.....should move the number to the other side and take cube root of both side
OpenStudy (tamtoan):
yummydum, why do you use the method of finding roots for quaratic equation to solve a third degree equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u help @tamtoan
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean this is a pretty icky equation they've got here
OpenStudy (tamtoan):
@lala2, i just typed earlier , as hero said, set y = 0 then you have (x-12)^3 - 7 = 0.
==> (x-12)^3 = 7
(x-12) = |dw:1354513352666:dw|
then continue from here

whats after that
OpenStudy (tamtoan):
@yummydum , you should never use the formula of solving quadratic equation and apply it to the third degree equation unless in some special case you can reduce to second degoree equation, otherwise, the answer will never be right
