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?

((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
