(3a − 2b)x(9a2 +4b2 +6ab)
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify :
[(3a - 2b)(9a² + 6ab + 4b²)] - [(2a +3b)(4a² - 6ab + 9b²)]
====================================
[(3a - 2b)(9a² + 6ab + 4b²)] - [(2a +3b)(4a² - 6ab + 9b²)]
We divide the equation in three parts for convenience.
========================
[(3a - 2b)(9a² + 6ab + 4b²)]
We can write it as -
[(3a - 2b){(3a)² + (3a × 2b) + (2b)²}]
• Now, using the identity -
(a - b)(a² + ab + b²) = a³ - b³
So let -
3a = a
2b = b
Then,
[(3a - 2b){(3a)² + (3a × 2b) + (2b)²}]
= [(3a)³ - (2b)³]
= (27a³ - 8b³)....... Equation (i)
========================
[(2a + 3b)(4a² - 6ab + 9b²)]
We can write it as -
[(2a + 3b){(2a)² - (2a × 3b) + (3b)²}]
• Now, using the formula -
(a + b)(a² - ab + b²) = a³ + b³
So let -
2a = a
3b = b
Then,
[(2a + 3b){(2a)² - (2a × 3b) + (3b)²}]
= [(2a)³ + (3b)³]
= (8a³ + 27b³)...... Equation (ii)
========================
• [(3a - 2b)(9a² + 6ab + 4b²)] - [(2a +3b)(4a² - 6ab + 9b²)]
• = [(27a³ - 8b³) - (8a³ + 27b³)]..... [from equations (i) and (ii)
• = [27a³ - 8b³ - 8a³ - 27b³].....[removing the brackets]
• = [27a³ - 8a³ - 8b³ - 27b³]......[rearranging the terms]
• = 19a³ - 35b³ .....
