Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
1.1 Factoring: x24-28
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 : 28 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares.
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
1.2 Factoring: x24-28
Theory : A difference 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 : 28 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Final result :
x24 - 28
