Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(3bc2-3)
(((((2•(a2))•b)•————————)•a)•b)•c
2
Step 2 :
3bc2 - 3
Simplify ————————
2
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
3bc2 - 3 = 3 • (bc2 - 1)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
3.2 Factoring: bc2 - 1
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 1 is the square of 1
Check : b1 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares
Equation at the end of step 3 :
3•(bc2-1) (((((2•(a2))•b)•—————————)•a)•b)•c 2Step 4 :
Equation at the end of step 4 :
3•(bc2-1)
((((2a2•b)•—————————)•a)•b)•c
2
Step 5 :
Canceling Out :
5.1 Canceling out 2 as it appears on both sides of the fraction line
Equation at the end of step 5 :
((3a2b • (bc2 - 1) • a) • b) • c
Step 6 :
Multiplying exponential expressions :
6.1 a2 multiplied by a1 = a(2 + 1) = a3
Equation at the end of step 6 :
(3a3b • (bc2 - 1) • b) • c
Step 7 :
Multiplying exponential expressions :
7.1 b1 multiplied by b1 = b(1 + 1) = b2
Equation at the end of step 7 :
3a3b2 • (bc2 - 1) • c
Step 8 :
Final result :
3a3b2c • (bc2 - 1)
