what is the formula of a plus one upon a whole cube
Answers
plus b Whole Cube Formula :
In this section, we are going to see the formula/expansion for (a + b)3.
That is,
(a + b)3 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)
Multiply (a + b) and (a + b).
(a + b)3 = (a2 + ab + ab + b2)(a + b)
Simplify.
(a + b)3 = (a2 + 2ab + b2)(a + b)
(a + b)3 = a3 + a2b + 2a2b + 2ab2 + ab2 + b3
Combine the like terms.
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
or
(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
a plus b Whole Cube Formula - Example Problems
Problem 1 :
Expand :
(x + 2)3
Solution :
(x + 2)3 is in the form of (a + b)3
Comparing (a + b)3 and (x + 2)3, we get
a = x
b = 2
Write the formula / expansion for (a + b)3.
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
Substitute x for a and 2 for b.
(x + 2)3 = x3 + 3(x2)(2) + 3(x)(22) + 23
(x + 2)3 = x3 + 6x2 + 3(x)(4) + 8
(x + 2)3 = x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8
So, the expansion of (x + 2)3 is
x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8
