Use the identity: (x+x1)2=x2+2+x21
Since x2+x21=83:
(x+x1)2=83+2
(x+x1)2=85
x+x1=±85
Since x>1, both x and x1 are positive, so:
x+x1=85
Use the identity: (x−x1)2=x2−2+x21
(x−x1)2=83−2
(x−x1)2=81
x−x1=±9
Since x>1, we have x>x1, so:
x−x1=9
Using the factorization formula:
x3−x31=(x−x1)(x2+1+x21)
x3−x31=9×(83+1)
x3−x31=9×84
x3−x31=756
