Simplify: (((√5) + 2))^(1/3) + (((√5) − 2))^(1/3)

$$\mathrm{Simplify}:\:\:\:\:\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\:\:+\:\:\mathrm{2}}\:\:\:+\:\:\:\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\:\:−\:\mathrm{2}}\:\: \\ $$

x^3 =((√5)+2)+((√5)−2)+3.x

$${x}^{\mathrm{3}} =\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}+\mathrm{2}\right)+\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}−\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{3}.{x} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

x^3 −3x−2(√5)=0

$${x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{3}{x}−\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

x(x^2 −3)=(√5)(((√5))^2 −3) x=(√5)(unique solution)

$${x}\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}\right)=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\left(\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$$${x}=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\left({unique}\:{solution}\right) \\ $$

x=((2+(√5)))^(1/3) −((2−(√5)))^(1/3) x^3 =(2+(√5))−3((2+(√5))^2 (2−(√5)))^(1/3) +3((2+(√5))(2−(√5))^2 )^(1/3) −(2−(√5)) x^3 =2(√5)−3((2+(√5))(−1))^(1/3) +3((2−(√5))(−1))^(1/3) x^3 =2(√5)+3(((2+(√5)))^(1/3) −((2−(√5)))^(1/3) ) x^3 =2(√5)+3x x^3 −3x=2(√5) in this special case it′s easy to see that x_1 =(√5) because ((√5))^3 =5(√5) x^3 −3x−2(√5)=(x−(√5))(x^2 +(√5)x+2) x_2 , x_3 ∉R ⇒ x=(√5) btw.: ((1/2)+((√5)/2))^3 =2+(√5) (−(1/2)+((√5)/2))^3 =−2+(√5)
