What is the factored form of 1,458x³ − 2?
A. 2(9x − 1)(81x² + 9x + 1)
B. 2(9x + 1)(81x² − 9x + 1)
C. (9x − 2)(81x² + 18x + 4)
D. (9x + 2)(81x² − 18x + 4)
Factor out 2 (common factor).
Consider . Rewrite as . The difference of cubes can be factored using the rule: .
Rewrite the complete factored expression. Polynomial 81x²+9x+1 is not factored as it does not have any rational roots.
