201. The Cube Root of Any Multinomial. Since the cube of a + 6 is a' + 3rt-6 + Sab- + 6^, we have to discover a process by which a and b, the terms of the root, can be found when a^ + 3 a^5 + 3 ab- + b^ is given.
The first term a is the cube root of a3.
Arrange the terms according to powers of one letter a; then the first term is a3, and its cube root a. Set this down as the first term of the required root. Subtract a^ from the given expression, and the remainder is
3aVj --3ab- + b^ or (3a- + Sab + 6^) x 6.
Now the first term of the remainder is the product of 3 a^ and b. Thus to obtain b we divide the first term of the remainder by three times the square of the term already found.
Having found b we can complete the divisor, which consists of the following three terms;
