Is the question answered?

IGSTUDENT:
Need some help in solving this equation:

k^3 = 2(k+8)^2


Ghost Of Highbury:
k..simple algebra

---

first expand the right hand side and multiply it with 2

k3 = 2(k2 + 16k 64)

k3 = 2k2 + 32k + 128

now...get the right hand side to the left hand side

k3 - 2k2 - 32k - 128 = 0


solve the cubic equation to get the answer

k=8 ;

astarmathsandphysics:
I get the answers are complex numbers. Not nice ones either. Either the question is wrong or you have to use a numerical method. Can you check the question?
