Cube Expression
1. We are given that $x + \frac{1}{x} = \sqrt{3}$. Our goal is to find the value of $x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}$.
2. Recall the identity for cubes: $$x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)^3 - 3\left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)$$
3. Substitute $x + \frac{1}{x} = \sqrt{3}$ into the identity:
$$x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = (\sqrt{3})^3 - 3(\sqrt{3})$$
4. Calculate each term:
$$(\sqrt{3})^3 = (3^{1/2})^3 = 3^{3/2} = 3 \sqrt{3}$$
5. Substitute back:
$$x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = 3\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{3} = 0$$
6. Thus, the value of $x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}$ is $0$.
