e. g. 6859
Unit digit is 9 so unit digit of 3 x will be 9 if 6859 is perfect cube.
10 = 1000
20 = 8000
So 6859 = 19
Arithmetical Progression
T n= a + (n-1) d
To find nth term.
T n=nth term

Arithmetic Equation
(1.) a 3 + b 3 = (a + b)(a 2 ab + b 2 )
(2.) a 3 b 3 = (a b)(a 2 + ab + b 2 )
(3.) a 3 + b 3 = (a + b)3 3ab(a + b)
(4.) a 3 b 3 = (a b)3 + 3ab(a b)
(5.) (a b)2 = (a + b)2 4ab
(6.) (a + b)2 = (a b)2 + 4ab
(7.) (a + b + c)3 = a 3 + b 3 + c 3 + 3(b + c)(c + a)(a + b)
