Q:

If x = 2 + 223 + 213 then find the value of x3-6x2+6x ?

A) 1 B) 2
C) 3 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2

Explanation:

Given that x = 2+ 223 + 213

 

So x - 2 = 223 + 213

 

Now cubing on both sides, we get

 

 

=> x3-8-6x2+12x = 4 + 2 + 6(x-2)

 

Therefore, x3-6x2+6x = -6 + 8 = 2
