which of the following is a factor in the general formula for factoring the difference of cubes?
a. (a^2-ab-b^2)
b. (a^2-ab+b^2)
c. (a^2+ab-b^2)
d. (a^2+ab+b^2)

Respuesta :

Answer:

D: a² + ab + b²

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula used for factoring a difference in cubes is;

a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

Thus, the factors are either;

(a - b) or (a² + ab + b²)

Looking at the given options, the only one that is a factor is (a² + ab + b²) which is option D.

Answer:

the answer (a-b) (a^2-ab+b^2)
