Question : If $x=(\sqrt[3]{7})^{3}+3$, then the value of $x^3–9x^2+27x–34$ is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: –1
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given: $(x–3)^{3}=(\sqrt[3]{7})^{3}$ $x^{3}–27–3(3x)(x–3) = 7$ $x^{3}–27–9x^{2}+27x = 7$ Subtracting 7 on both sides, we get, $x^{3}–27–9x^{2}+27x–7= 7–7$ $x^{3}–9x^{2}+27x–34 = 0$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.
