Answer» Step 1 :
343 SIMPLIFY ——— 729
Equation at the end of step 1 :
343 ((p3) • (q3)) + ——— 729
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 729 as the DENOMINATOR :
p3q3 p3q3 • 729 p3q3 = ———— = —————————— 1 729
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the NUMERATORS together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
p3q3 • 729 + 343 729p3q3 + 343 ———————————————— = ————————————— 729 729
Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :
2.3 Factoring: 729p3q3 + 343
Theory : A sum of two perfect cubes, a3 + b3can 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 : 729 is the cube of 9
Check : 343 is the cube of 7 Check : p3 is the cube of p1
Check : q3 is the cube of q1
Factorization is : (9pq + 7) • (81p2q2 - 63pq + 49)
Trying to factor a MULTI variable polynomial :
2.4 Factoring 81p2q2 - 63pq + 49
Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error
Factorization fails
Final result :
(9pq + 7) • (81p2q2 - 63pq + 49) ———————————————————————————————— 729
