Answer:
(a + b + 2c)(a² + 2ab + b² - 2ac - 2bc + 4c²)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(a + b)³ + 8c³ ← this is a sum of cubes and factors in general as
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Thus
(a + b)³ + 8c³
= (a + b)³ + (2c)³
= (a + b + 2c)( (a + b)² - 2c(a + b) + (2c)² )
= (a + b + 2c)(a² + 2ab + b² - 2ac - 2bc + 4c²)
-2x+9. just distribute a -1
X^m means x times itself m times
(-6)^5 means -6 time itself 5 times
simplify it says
remember that
(mn)^x=(m^x)(n^x)
undistribute the -1
(-6)^5=(-1)^5 times (6^5)
(-1)^5=-1 since it is odd power
can be simplified to
-6^5
(note, -6^5 vs (-6)^5 PEMDAS)
The perimeter of the shape is 30 add all the sides
3 rows
6 columns
