Question

Can someone help factor this? a^3^y+1? I've been trying and I just can't find the right answer :(

Answer 1

first is it \[a ^{3^{y}}\] or\[(a ^{3})^{y}\]

Answer 2

the first one

Answer 3

but the second form can be factorized
check it again

Answer 4

It's definitely written down as the first one. but if oyu can help me iwth the second one I'll see if they'll take it

Answer 5

ok
(a^3)^y+1 = a^3y+1 = (a^y +1)(a^2y - a^y +1)
