Question

(a + b)(a ² - ab + b ²)

Answer 1

Hi there!

You can use distributive property to solve this equation.

These are the list of terms you have to multiply :
a × a² = a³
a × -ab = -a²b
a × b² = ab²
b × a² = a²b
b × -ab = -ab²
b × b² = b³

add all of those terms...
a³ - a²b + ab² +a²b -ab² + b³
simplify by adding like terms... (- a²b + a²b , ab² - ab²)

a³ + b³

Hope this helped!! :)
