Sum of cubes: (a b)(a2 – ab b2) = a3 b3 Difference of cubes: (a – b)(a2 ab b2) = a3 – b3 Which products result in a sum or difference of cubes? Check all that apply. (x – 4)(x2 4x – 16) (x – 1)(x2 – x 1) (x – 1)(x2 x 1) (x 1)( x – 1) (x 4)(x2 – 4x 16) (x 4)(x2 4x 16).

Respuesta :

By comparing all the options with the formula of sum of cubes and difference of cubes we get that  [tex](x+4)\left(x^{2}-4 x+16\right)[/tex]  is sum of cubes

What is formula of sum of cubes and difference of cubes?

Formula of sum of cubes and difference of cubes are following

[tex](a+b)(a^2 -ab +b^2) = a^3+ b^3 \\\\\\(a - b)(a^2+ ab+ b^2) = a^3 - b^3[/tex]

(a)

[tex](x-4) \left(x^{2}+4 x-16\right)\\=(x-4) \left(x^{2}+4 x-4^2\right)\\\\[/tex]

by comparison with formula we can say that this is neither sum or nor difference of cubes.

(b)

[tex](x-1)\left(x^{2}-x+1\right)\\=(x-1)\left(x^{2}-x+1^2\right)[/tex]

by comparison with formula we can say that this is neither sum nor difference of cubes.

(c)

[tex](x+1)(x-1)=x^{2}-1^{2}\\[/tex]

we can say that this is neither sum  nor difference of cube as it's difference of squares.

(d)

[tex](x+4)\left(x^{2}-4 x+16\right)\\\\(x+4)\left(x^{2}-4 x+4^2\right)[/tex]

by comparison with formula this is equal to

[tex]x^{3}+4^{3}\\[/tex]

Hence this is sum of cubes

(e)

[tex](x+4)\left(x^{2}+4 x+16\right)\\(x+4)\left(x^{2}+4 x+4^2\right)[/tex]

by comparison with formula we can say that this is neither sum  nor difference of cubes.
