Solution - Simplification or other simple results
2*(3n+1)*(3n-1)
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2•32n2) - 2
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
18n2 - 2 = 2 • (9n2 - 1)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
3.2 Factoring: 9n2 - 1
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 9 is the square of 3
Check : 1 is the square of 1
Check : n2 is the square of n1
Factorization is : (3n + 1) • (3n - 1)
Final result :
2 • (3n + 1) • (3n - 1)
