Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
3y3 - 192 = 3 • (y3 - 64)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
3.2 Factoring: y3 - 64
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 : 64 is the cube of 4
Check : y3 is the cube of y1
Factorization is :
(y - 4) • (y2 + 4y + 16)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.3 Factoring y2 + 4y + 16
The first term is, y2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +4y its coefficient is 4 .
The last term, "the constant", is +16
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 16 = 16
Step-2 : Find two factors of 16 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 4 .
-16 + -1 = -17
-8 + -2 = -10
-4 + -4 = -8
-2 + -8 = -10
-1 + -16 = -17
1 + 16 = 17
2 + 8 = 10
4 + 4 = 8
8 + 2 = 10
16 + 1 = 17
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
3 • (y - 4) • (y2 + 4y + 16)
