Factoring binomials using the difference of squaresStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2 • (x5)) + ((24•33x2) • y3)Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
2x5 + (24•33x2y3)
Step 3 :
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
2x5 + 432x2y3 = 2x2 • (x3 + 216y3)
Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :
4.2 Factoring: x3 + 216y3
Theory : A sum of two perfect cubes, a3 + b3 can be factored into :
(a+b) • (a2-ab+b2)
Proof : (a+b) • (a2-ab+b2) =
a3-a2b+ab2+ba2-b2a+b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)+b3=
a3+0+0+b3=
a3+b3
Check : 216 is the cube of 6
Check : x3 is the cube of x1
Check : y3 is the cube of y1
Factorization is :
(x + 6y) • (x2 - 6xy + 36y2)
Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :
4.3 Factoring x2 - 6xy + 36y2
Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error
Factorization fails
Final result :
2x2 • (x + 6y) • (x2 - 6xy + 36y2)
