Q:

If $x = 2 + 2^{\frac{2}{3}} + 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$ then find the value of $x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 6 x$ ?

A) 1	B) 2
C) 3	D) 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2

Explanation:

Given that $x = 2 + 2^{\frac{2}{3}} + 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$

So x - 2 = $2^{\frac{2}{3}} + 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Now cubing on both sides, we get

=> $x^{3} - 8 - 6 x^{2} + 12 x = 4 + 2 + 6 (x - 2)$

Therefore, $x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 6 x = - 6 + 8 = 2$
