Other Ways to Solve
Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Step 2 :
Pulling out like terms :
2.1 Pull out like factors :
a22l - 20a = a • (a21l - 20)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
2.2 Factoring: a21l - 20
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 : 20 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Final result :
a • (a21l - 20)
