Solve the following using substitution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+1)^{3}=(x-1)^{3}+26\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute with....?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by any variable k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[k^3=(k-2)^3+26\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy. but how would you solve for k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[k^3=k^3-6k^2+12k-8+26\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you multiply out cubes??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got \[k ^{3}-8\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x-y)^3=x^3+3x^2y-3xy^2-y^3\] you should get because k^3 cancel \[6k^2-12k-18=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

last question...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would you factor \[(x+y)^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

everything is positive but the same as the one with - except for it is all +

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets verify \[(x+y)^3=(x+y)(x+y)(x+y)\] open two brackets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKS!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^3+y^3=...\]how can you factcor that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good but without the 2xy jus xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats correct for \[(x+y)^3\]not for\[x^3+y^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay...then what is it for x3+y3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we use \[(x+y)^3=x^3+3xy^2+3x^2y+y^3\] to get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the equation do you see any \[x^3+y^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you take everything to the other side except for that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^3+y^3=(x+y^3)-3xy^2-3x^2y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

furthermore 3xy factorised give \[(x+y)^3-3xy(x+y)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factorize x+y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy. but how does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+y)(x ^{2}-xy+y ^{2})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice thats how i wanted us to factorize

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (x2−xy+y2) would equal 3xy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not really,we get that when we say \[(x+y)[(x+y)^2-3xy]=(x+y)(x^2+2xy+y^2-3xy)\] \[(x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we know how factor 3 different cubes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh. okay. thanks :)
