I need a explanation for this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ a^n-b^n }{ a-b } = a^\left( n-1 \right)+a^\left( n-2 \right)*b......+a*b^\left( n-2 \right)+b^\left( n-1 \right)\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its just division ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a^(n-1) ----------- a-b | a^n - b^n (a^n -a^(n-1)b) --------------- a^(n-1)b - b^n a^(n-1) +a^(n-2)b ----------- a-b | a^n - b^n (a^n -a^(n-1)b) --------------- a^(n-1)b - b^n (a^(n-1)b -a^(n-2)b^2) --------------------- a^(n-2)b^2 - b^n
