Find the product of : (x+y)(x^2 - xy + y ^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x^3 + y^3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can distribute but later in more complex math you memorize that equation as the factors of an addition of 2 cubes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

according to me it should be (x+y)(x^2 - xy + y ^2) x(x^2 - xy + y^2) + y(x^2 - xy + y^2) and then x^3 - x^2y + xy^2 + yx^2 - xy^2 + y^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2) (x^3-(x^2)y+x(y^2)) + (y(x^2)-x(y^2)+y^3) After cancelling, x^3 + y^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah and the 4 middle terms cancel leaving you with what I said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can anyone show mw the cancelling by drawing plsplspls :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You said you got this x^3 - x^2y + xy^2 + yx^2 - xy^2 + y^3 - x^2y cancels with + yx^2 + xy^2 cancels with - xy^2

thanks dude
