Same way we did it before, this is a differece of cubes this time. Use the fact that: a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) They already gave you (a-b), its (3y^5-4z). a=3y^5 and b=4z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know how to make the problem like that. :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They gave you the binomal (a-b).I told what a and b represent. Now in the trinomial (a^2+ab+b^2), just plug in those values for a and b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So ignore the a-b, just use the numbers that are there for the rest of the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

((3y^5)^2+(3y^5)(4z)+4z^2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, dont ignore (a-b), cause its part of the over facotrization.But defiently use the fact that they ahve already said what a and b are. That way you can finish the second part of the factored form (a^2+ab+b^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right exactly you got, now simplify it using the exponent rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9y^10+12y^5z+4z^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It told me the answer is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on the last term, is suppose to be 16z^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh, that's why.
