Solution - Factoring binomials using the difference of squares

6(5n2289+64)
-6*(5n^2289+64)

Step by Step Solution

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (0 -  ((2•3•5n2288) • n)) -  384

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   -30n2289 - 384  =   -6 • (5n2289 + 64) 

Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :

 3.2      Factoring:  5n2289 + 64 

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 :  5  is not a cube !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Final result :

  -6 • (5n2289 + 64)
