Question

If P = x3 + y3/(x - y )2 + 3xy, Q = x3 - y3/ ( x + y )2- 3xy and R = x2 - y2 / xy, express [ P x Q / R ] as a rational expression in the lowest form.

Solution

Consider the following expressions. P=x3+y3x-y2+3xy, Q=x3-y3x+y2-3xy and R=x2-y2xyIt is required to express P×Q/R as a rational expression in the lowest form.First simplify the expression P and QUse the formulas, a+b2=a2+2ab+b2 , a-b2=a2-2ab+b2 a3+b3=a+b a2-ab+b2 , a3-b3=a-b a2+ab+b2 Therefore it implies that P=x3+y3x-y2+3xy =x+y x2-xy+y2x2-2xy+y2+3xy =x+y x2-xy+y2x2+xy+y2and Q=x3-y3x+y2-3xy =x-y x2+xy+y2x2+2xy+y2-3xy =x-y x2+xy+y2x2-xy+y2So the product P×Q is P×Q =x+y x2-xy+y2x2+xy+y2× x-y x2+xy+y2x2-xy+y2 =x+yx-y =x2-y2Therefore the value of P×Q/R is P×Q/R=x2-y2x2-y2/xy =x2-y2x2-y2xy =xy1 So the required simplified expression is P×Q/R=xy1
