Question

HELP ME \[1-3a^2+3a^4-a^6\]

Answer 1

we have to factorize 1-3a^2+3a^4-a^6

Answer 2

ooooh this looks like fun, lemme grab a pencil and some paper

Answer 3

factor it completely?

Answer 4

yes
i think it can be solved through (a-b)^3

Answer 5

i meant this is in the form of a^3-b^3-3ab(a-b) that is (a-b)^3

Answer 6

k give me a sec, i have to write all this crap down when i work through it

Answer 7

Kush I came up with -(a-1)^3 * (a+1)^3

Answer 8

lemme go back and check my work again though

Answer 9

did u mean
\[(1-a)^3(1+a)^3\]

Answer 10

I got \[-(a^2 - 1)^3\]

Answer 11

Damn, which is equivalent to what you got

Answer 12

yeah, thats the answer my bf came up with. But I told him I was still correct b/c it's the same as my answer haha.

Answer 13

the answer it is showing is
\[(1-a)^3(1+a)^3\]

Answer 14

What do you mean by "IT"?

Answer 15

where did your negative sign go?

Answer 16

Hehehe women are always right ;)

Answer 17

can u say the solution any1

Answer 18

lol not really >_<

Answer 19

Well, the solution is already there, in two different, albeit correct, forms

Answer 20

but the answers are different

Answer 21

And yet they are both equivalent

Answer 22

lol yes, he's very right. there both equivalent, so you got twice what you were looking for! =3
