Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes:
3.1 Factoring: 27a3+8b3
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 : 27 is the cube of 3
Check : 8 is the cube of 2
Check : a3 is the cube of a1
Check : b3 is the cube of b1
Factorization is :
(3a + 2b) • (9a2 - 6ab + 4b2)
Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :
3.2 Factoring 9a2 - 6ab + 4b2
Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error
Factorization fails
Final result :
(3a + 2b) • (9a2 - 6ab + 4b2)
27a³+8b³
(3a+2b).(9a²-6ab+4b²)
