Choose one of the factors of 1331x3 - 8y3.
4, 11x - 2y, 121x2 + 44xy + 4y2, 121x2 - 22xy + 4y2
Solution:
1331x3 - 8y3 can be rewritten as :
(11x)3 - (2y)3
This is a cubic equation which can be factored as:
(11x)3 - (2y)3
= (11x - 2y) (121x2 + 22xy + 4y2)
Hence the two factors are 11x - 2y and 121x2 + 22xy + 4y2.
Therefore one of the factors which is listed in the choices above is 11x - 2y.
The second factor is not mentioned in the choices.
Choose one of the factors of 1331x3 - 8y3.
Summary:
One of the factors of 1331x3 - 8y3 are 11x - 2y and 121x2 + 22xy + 4y2. The answer however is 11x - 2y.
