Question

Choose two values, a and b, each between 8 and 15. Show how to use the identity a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) to calculate the sum of the cubes of your numbers without using a calculator

I really need help with this

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 8

b  = 10

a^3 =8^3 = 512

b^3= 10^3 =1000

a^3 + b^3 = 1512

a^2 = 64

-ab = - 80

b^2 = 100

a + b=18

(a + b) (64 -  80+ 100)

18 * (84)

1512'
