Question

Factorise the following:
(a3b)3+(3bc)3+(ca)3

Open in App
Solution

We know the corollary: if a+b+c=0 then a3+b3+c3=3abc

Using the above corollary taking a=(a3b), b=(3bc) and c=(ca), we have a+b+c=a3b+3bc+ca=0 then the value of (a3b)3+(3bc)3+(ca)3 is:

(a3b)3+(3bc)3+(ca)3=3[(a3b)×(3bc)×(ca)]=3(a3b)(3bc)(ca)
Hence, (a3b)3+(3bc)3+(ca)3=3(a3b)(3bc)(ca)
