Which expression is a difference of cubes? 9w^33-y^12 18p^15-q^21 36a^22-b^16 64c^15- a^26

Respuesta :

we know that

A polynomial in the form [tex]a^{3}-b^{3}[/tex] is called adifference of cubes. Both terms must be a perfect cubes

Let's verify each case to determine the solution to the problem

case A) [tex]9w^{33} -y^{12}[/tex]

we know that

[tex]9=3^{2}[/tex] ------> the term is not a perfect cube

[tex]w^{33}=(w^{11})^{3}[/tex] ------> the term is a perfect cube

[tex]y^{12}=(y^{4})^{3}[/tex] ------> the term is a perfect cube

therefore

The expression [tex]9w^{33} -y^{12}[/tex] is not a difference of cubes because the term [tex]9[/tex] is not a perfect cube

case B) [tex]18p^{15} -q^{21}[/tex]  

we know that

[tex]18=2*3^{2}[/tex] ------> the term is not a perfect cube

[tex]p^{15}=(p^{5})^{3}[/tex] ------> the term is a perfect cube

[tex]q^{21}=(q^{7})^{3}[/tex] ------> the term is a perfect cube

therefore

The expression [tex]18p^{15} -q^{21}[/tex] is not a difference of cubes because the term [tex]18[/tex] is not a perfect cube

case C) [tex]36a^{22} -b^{16}[/tex]

we know that

[tex]36=2^{2}*3^{2}[/tex] ------> the term is not a perfect cube

[tex]a^{22}[/tex] ------>  the term is not a perfect cube

[tex]b^{16}[/tex] ------> the term is not a perfect cube

therefore

The expression [tex]36a^{22} -b^{16}[/tex] is not a difference of cubes because all terms are not perfect cubes

case D) [tex]64c^{15} -a^{26}[/tex]

we know that

[tex]64=2^{6}=(2^{2})^{3}[/tex] ------>  the term is a perfect cube

[tex]c^{15}=(c^{5})^{3}[/tex] ------>   the term is a perfect cube

[tex]a^{26}[/tex] ------> the term is not a perfect cube

therefore

The expression [tex]64c^{15} -a^{26}[/tex] is not a difference of cubes because the term [tex]a^{26}[/tex] is not a perfect cube

I'm adding a new case so I can better explain the problem

case E) [tex]64c^{15} -d^{27}[/tex]

we know that

[tex]64=2^{6}=(2^{2})^{3}[/tex] ------>  the term is a perfect cube

[tex]c^{15}=(c^{5})^{3}[/tex] ------>   the term is a perfect cube

[tex]d^{27}=(d^{9})^{3}[/tex] ------>  the term is a perfect cube

Substitute

[tex]64c^{15} -d^{27}=((2^{2})(c^{5}))^{3}-(d^{9})^{3}[/tex]

therefore

The expression [tex]64c^{15} -d^{27}[/tex] is a difference of cubes because all terms are perfect cubes



The expression [tex]\boxed{64{c^{15}} - {d^{27}}}[/tex] is a difference of cubes.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The options are as follows,

(a). [tex]9{w^{33}} - {y^{12}}[/tex]

(b). [tex]18{p^{15}} - {q^{21}}[/tex]

(c). [tex]36{a^{22}} - {b^{16}}[/tex]

(d). [tex]64{c^{15}} - {a^{26}}[/tex]

(e). [tex]64{c^{15}} - {d^{27}}[/tex]

Calculation:

The cubic formula can be expressed as follows,

[tex]\boxed{{a^3} + {b^3} = \left( {a + b} \right)\left( {{a^2} - ab + {b^2}} \right)}[/tex]

The expression is [tex]9{w^{33}} - {y^{12}}.[/tex]

9 is not a perfect cube of any number,[tex]{w^{33}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]{\left( {{w^{11}}} \right)^3}[/tex] and [tex]{y^{12}}[/tex] can be represents as [tex]{\left( {{y^4}} \right)^3}.[/tex]

[tex]9{w^{33}} - {y^{12}}[/tex]cannot be written as the difference of cube. Option (a) is not correct.

The expression is [tex]18{p^{15}} - {q^{21}}.[/tex]

18 is not a perfect cube of any number, [tex]{p^{15}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]{\left( {{p^5}} \right)^3}[/tex] and [tex]{q^{21}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]{\left( {{q^7}} \right)^3}.[/tex]

[tex]18{p^{15}} - {q^{21}}[/tex] cannot be written as the difference of cube. Option (b) is not correct.

The expression is [tex]36{a^{22}} - {b^{16}}.[/tex]

36 is not a perfect cube of any number, [tex]{a^{22}}[/tex] is not perfect cube and [tex]{b^{16}}[/tex] is not a perfect cube.

[tex]36{a^{22}} - {b^{16}}[/tex] cannot be written as the difference of cube. Option (c) is not correct.

The expression is [tex]64{c^{15}} - {a^{26}}.[/tex]

64 can be written as [tex]{\left( {{2^2}} \right)^3}, {a^{26}}[/tex] is not perfect cube and [tex]{c^{15}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]{\left( {{c^5}} \right)^3}.[/tex]

[tex]64{c^{15}} - {a^{26}}[/tex] cannot be written as the difference of cube. Option (d) is not correct.

The expression is [tex]64{c^{15}} - {d^{27}}.[/tex]

64 can be written as [tex]{\left( {{2^2}} \right)^3}, {d^{27}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]{\left( {{d^9}} \right)^3}[/tex] and [tex]{c^{15}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]{\left( {{c^5}} \right)^3}.[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{64{c^{15}} - {d^{27}} = {{\left( {{2^2}{c^5}} \right)}^3} - {{\left( {{d^9}} \right)}^3}}[/tex]

[tex]64{c^{15}} - {d^{27}}[/tex] can be written as the difference of cube. Option (e) is correct.

The expression [tex]\boxed{64{c^{15}} - {d^{27}}}[/tex] is a difference of cubes.
