Q.Translate: Express \((x + 2)^3 = x(x^2 - 1)\) in the form of a quadratic equation \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\), where \(a \ne 0\), and write down the coefficients of \(x^2\), \(x\), and \(x^0\) (i.e., the constant term).

\((x + 2)^3 = x(x^2 - 1)\) Or, \(x^3 + 3 \cdot x^2 \cdot 2 + 3 \cdot x \cdot 2 \cdot 2 + 2^3 = x^3 - x\) Or, \(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8 - x^3 + x = 0\) Or, \(6x^2 + 13x + 8 = 0\) So, when \((x + 2)^3 = x(x^2 - 1)\) is expressed in the form of a quadratic equation \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) where \(a \ne 0\), the coefficient of \(x^2\) is 6, the coefficient of \(x\) is 13, and the constant term (coefficient of \(x^0\)) is 8.
