Factories x^12 - y^12
Answers
Answer:
( x - y ) ( x + y ) ( x² - xy + y² ) ( x² + xy + y² ) ( x² + y² ) ( x⁴ - x²y² + y⁴ )
I hope this helps you. Have a great day!!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
x¹² - y¹²
= (x⁶)² - (y⁶)²
= ( x⁶ - y⁶ ) ( x⁶ + y⁶ ) (1)
To avoid getting muddled, deal with these factors one at a time.
x⁶ - y⁶
= (x³)² - (y³)²
= ( x³ - y³ ) ( x³ + y³ ) (2)
Now we need to recall:
x³ - y³ = ( x - y ) ( x² + xy + y² )
x³ + y³ = ( x + y ) ( x² - xy + y² )
Putting these together into (2), we have
x⁶ - y⁶ = ( x - y ) ( x + y ) ( x² - xy + y² ) ( x² + xy + y² ) (3)
Now the second factor in (1) is
x⁶ + y⁶
= (x²)³ + (y²)³
= ( x² + y² ) ( (x²)² - x²y² + (y²)² )
= ( x² + y² ) ( x⁴ - x²y² + y⁴ ) (4)
Putting (3) and (4) together into (1), we finally have
x¹² - y¹²
= ( x - y ) ( x + y ) ( x² - xy + y² ) ( x² + xy + y² ) ( x² + y² ) ( x⁴ - x²y² + y⁴ )
a² - b² =( a + b ) ( a - b )
a³ - b³ = ( a - b ) ( a² + a + b² )
