MathBot Answer:
\[{\left( \frac{1 + \sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{3} + {\left( \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{3} = \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^{3} \approx 2.5\]
\[\begin{aligned}{\left( \frac{1 + \sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{3} + {\left( \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{3}& = \left(\left(1 + \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2}\right)^{3} + \left(\left(1 - \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}\\& = \left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sqrt{3}\right)^{3} + \left(\left(1 - \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}\\& = \left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sqrt{3}\right)^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sqrt{3}\right)^{3}\end{aligned}\]
