Recognize Perfect Cube: The function given is g(x)=(23x+1)3+(2x)3. To simplify this, we need to recognize if the expression inside the square root is a perfect cube or can be factored into a sum of cubes.
Factor Sum of Cubes: The expression inside the square root is indeed a sum of cubes: (23x+1)3+(2x)3. The sum of cubes can be factored using the identity a3+b3=(a+b)(a2−ab+b2).
Apply Sum of Cubes Identity: Let's apply the sum of cubes identity to our expression with a=23x+1 and b=2x. This gives us (23x+1+2x)((23x+1)2−(23x+1)(2x)+(2x)2).
Simplify Factored Expression: Now we simplify the expression inside the square root by factoring it. We get (23x+1+2x)((23x+1)2−(23x+1)(2x)+(2x)2).
Simplify Square Root: Since we are taking the square root of a product of two terms, and one of the terms is the sum 23x+1+2x, we can simplify the square root to just this sum, because it is the square root of the product of two identical factors (which is the definition of a square root). Therefore, g(x) simplifies to 23x+1+2x.
