Factoring binomials using the difference of squaresStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(0 - (3x230 • x)) - 75
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
-75 - 3x231 = -3 • (25 + x231)
Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :
3.2 Factoring: 25 + x231
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 : 25 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Final result :
-3 • (25 + x231)
