Applying the Factor Theorem to a Material Waste Model

A data analyst at a manufacturing plant is checking a polynomial model f(x)=x3216f(x) = x^3 - 216 used to estimate material waste. They need to use the Factor Theorem to determine if the expression x6x - 6 is a factor of this model. Briefly state the specific number the analyst must substitute for xx, the final numerical result of evaluating the function at that value, and the conclusion regarding whether x6x - 6 is a factor.
