If 2x + \(\frac{1}{3x}\) + 1 = 0
find \(\sqrt[3]{{27x}^{3}\;+\;\frac{1}{{8x}^{3}}}\).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
2x + \(\frac{1}{3x}\) + 1 = 0
2x + \(\frac{1}{3x}\) = -1
Multiply by \(\frac{3}{2}\) in equation, we get
⇒ 3x + \(\frac{1}{2x}\) = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
Cubing both side,
⇒ 27x3 + \(\frac{1}{{8x}^{3}}\) = \(\frac{-27}{8}\) - 3 \(\times\) \(\frac{3}{2}\) (\(\frac{-3}{2}\))
= \(\frac{-27}{8}\) + \(\frac{27}{4}\)
= \(\frac{-27+54}{8}\) = \(\frac{27}{8}\)
Now,
\(\sqrt[3]{{27x}^{3}+\frac{1}{{8x}^{3}}}\) = \(\sqrt[3]\frac{27}{8}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
