Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "y3" was replaced by "y^3".
Step 1 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
1.1 Factoring: 125-y3
Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes, a3 - b3 can be factored into
(a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)
Proof : (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
a3+0+0-b3 =
a3-b3
Check : 125 is the cube of 5
Check : y3 is the cube of y1
Factorization is :
(5 - y) • (25 + 5y + y2)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.2 Factoring y2 + 5y + 25
The first term is, y2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +5y its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is +25
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 25 = 25
Step-2 : Find two factors of 25 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
-25 | + | -1 | = | -26 | ||
-5 | + | -5 | = | -10 | ||
-1 | + | -25 | = | -26 | ||
1 | + | 25 | = | 26 | ||
5 | + | 5 | = | 10 | ||
25 | + | 1 | = | 26 |
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
(5 - y) • (y2 + 5y + 25)
