Answer:

<h2>a³-b³  = (a-b)(a²+ab+b²)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two perfect cubes be a³ and b³. Factring the  difference of these two perfect cubes we have;

a³ - b³

First we need to factorize (a-b)³

(a-b)³ = (a-b) (a-b)²

(a-b)³ = (a-b)(a²-2ab+b²)

(a-b)³ = a³-2a²b+ab²-a²b+2ab²-b³

(a-b)³ = a³-b³-2a²b-a²b+ab²+2ab²

(a-b)³ = a³-b³ - 3a²b+3ab²

(a-b)³  = (a³-b³) -3ab(a-b)

Then we will make a³-b³ the subject of the formula from the resultinh equation;

a³-b³ =  (a-b)³+ 3ab(a-b)

a³-b³  = a-b{(a-b)²+3ab}

a³-b³  = a-b{a²+b²-2ab+3ab}

a³-b³  = (a-b)(a²+b²+ab)

a³-b³  = (a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

The long division problem that can be used is (a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

[Algebra 2] Find the quotient with the necessary restrictions.​
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is:   3x² (4x - 1) / (x - 4) (x - 3) ∧ restriction x ≠ 3, x ≠ 4, x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

((16x² - 8x + 1) / (x² - 7x + 12)) : ((20x² - 5x) / 15x³) =

dividing with one fraction is the same as multiplying with its reciprocal value

((16x² - 8x + 1) / (x² - 7x + 12)) · (15x³ / (20x² - 5x))

First we need to factorize both numerators and denominators

16x² - 8x + 1 = (4x - 1)²   This is square binomial

x² - 7x + 12 = x² - 4x - 3x + 12 = x (x - 4) - 3 (x - 4) = (x - 4) ( x - 3)

20x² - 5x = 5x (4x - 1)

(4x - 1)² / (x - 4) (x - 3) ·  15x³ / 5x (4x - 1)

The existence of this rational algebraic expression is possible only if it is:

x - 4 ≠ 0 and x - 3 ≠ 0 and x ≠ 0 and 4x - 1 ≠ 0  =>

x ≠ 4 and x ≠ 3 and x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 1/4  This is restriction

Finally we have:

3 x² (4x - 1) / (x - 4) (x - 3)

In an equation using x is just a place holder because those numbers are variables so it doesn't matter whether it is x or w.

Solve for x. 3x ^2 -4 = 8
LenKa [72]

Answer:

x = ±2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x ^2 -4 = 8

Add 4 to each side

3x ^2 -4+4 = 8+4

3x^2 =12

Divide each side by 3

3x^2 =12

3x^2/3 = 12/3

x^2 = 4

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(4)

x = ±2
