hartnn (hartnn):
can u write 27x^3y^6 as (....)^3
what is .... ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what?
hartnn (hartnn):
27 is cube of what number ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3
hartnn (hartnn):
yes, so u can write
\(\huge 27x^3y^6 = (3xy^2)^3\)
got this ?

no
hartnn (hartnn):
(3xy^2)^3 = 3^3 x^3 (y^2)^3 = 27 x^3 y^6
now ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is \[(3xy^2+2p)(9x^y^4-6xy^2p+4p^2)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just dont knw how to get it
hartnn (hartnn):
\(\huge 27x^3y^6 = (3xy^2)^3 \\ \huge 8p^3= (2p)^3\)
now use
\(\huge a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\)

taking a= (3xy^2) and b= 2p
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
First rewrite as a sum of cubes
27x^3y^6+8p^3
(3xy^2)^3+8p^3
(3xy^2)^3+(2p)^3
Then use the sum of cubes factoring formula a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)(a^2 - ab + b^2) to get
In this case, a = 3xy^2 and b = 2p
(3xy^2 + 2p)( (3xy^2)^2 - (3xy^2)*(2p) + (2p)^2 )
(3xy^2 + 2p)( 9x^2y^4 - 6xy^2p + 4p^2 )
