Question

can 27a^3(cubed) - 1 over 9a^2(squared) - 6a + 1 be reduced?

Answer 1

yes.
Factor both. The numerator uses the formula difference of cubes. The denominator is a perfect square. They both share a common factor of (3a-1)

Answer 2

I think it is (27a^3 - 1)/(9a^2 - 6a + 1)
It can be reduced by factoring.

Answer 3

yes GT thats it. . . do u know the reduced form?

Answer 4

Factors of 27a^3 - 1 = (3a-1)(9a^2 + 3a +1)
Factors of 9a^2 - 6a + 1 = (3a-1)(3a-1)

Answer 5

Dividing will give you....
(9a^2+3a+1)/(3a-1)

Answer 6

ok good i did it right !! haha thank you
