Answer

$1-\sqrt[3]{12}+\sqrt[3]{18}$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd$ or the FOIL method, then, \begin{array}{l} \left( \sqrt[3]{3}+\sqrt[3]{2} \right)\left( \sqrt[3]{9}-\sqrt[3]{4} \right) \\= (\sqrt[3]{3})(\sqrt[3]{9})+(\sqrt[3]{3})(-\sqrt[3]{4})+(\sqrt[3]{2})(\sqrt[3]{9})+(\sqrt[3]{2})(-\sqrt[3]{4}) \\= \sqrt[3]{27}-\sqrt[3]{12}+\sqrt[3]{18}-\sqrt[3]{8} \\= 3-\sqrt[3]{12}+\sqrt[3]{18}-2 \\= 1-\sqrt[3]{12}+\sqrt[3]{18} .\end{array}
