Question 596131: If x²+x+1=0, then what is the value of (x³+)³ ?

Notice that x²+x+1 one of the factors of x³-1 because

x³-1 = (x-1)(x²+x+1)

Then since x²+x+1 = 0, 

x³-1 = (x-1)(x²+x+1) = (x-1)(0) = 0

and therefore

 x³-1 = 0
   x³ = 1 
    x =  
    x = 1

Therefore  (x³+)³ = (1³+)³ = (1+)³ = (1+1)³ = 2³ = 8
