    If \[x=2+{{2}^{2/3}}+{{2}^{1/3}},\] then the value of \[{{x}^{3}}-6{{x}^{2}}+6x\] is

    A)  3                

    B)  2

    C)  1                

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

              \[x=2+{{2}^{2/3}}+{{2}^{1/3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[(x-2)={{2}^{2/3}}+{{2}^{1/3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{(x-2)}^{3}}={{({{2}^{2/3}}+{{2}^{1/3}})}^{3}}\] \[=4+2+3\times {{2}^{2/3}}\times {{2}^{1/3}}[{{2}^{2/3}}+{{2}^{1/3}}]\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[=6+3\times 2\,(x-2)\] [From Eq. (i)] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{(x-2)}^{3}}=6+6x-12=6x-6\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{3}}-8-6x\,(x-2)=6x-6\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{3}}-6{{x}^{2}}+6x=2\]
