The discussion focuses on proving the equation Gy^3 + (y - G)^3 = 0 given the quadratic equation x^2 + x + G = 0 and the expression y = x + 1/x. Participants analyze the derived expressions for Gy^3 and (y - G)^3, concluding that they are not equal. A key point of confusion arises regarding the correct interpretation of y, with clarification confirming that y = x + 1/x is the accurate formulation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly applying algebraic identities in the proof.

Homework Statement



If x^2+x+G=0 and y=x+1/x , prove that Gy^3+(y-G)^3=0

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Gy^3=x^5+3x^3+3x+1/x+x^4+3x^2+3+1/x^2

(y-G)^3=1/x^3+6/x+3+12x+12x^2+12x^4+6x^5+x^6

They are not equal.

Is this the correct way of doing ?

?
