The equivalent expression of (q² − r²s) (q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²) is q⁶ - r⁶s³
<h3>How to factor the expression?</h3>
The expression is given as:
(q² − r²s) (q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²)
Expand the expression
(q² − r²s) (q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²) = q²(q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²) − r²s(q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²)
Open the brackets
(q² − r²s) (q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²) = q⁶ + q⁴r²s + q²r⁴s² -q⁴r²s - q²r⁴s² - r⁶s³
Evaluate the like terms
(q² − r²s) (q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²) = q⁶ - r⁶s³
Hence, the equivalent expression of (q² − r²s) (q⁴ + q²r²s + r⁴s²) is q⁶ - r⁶s³
