Given the numerical equation:
a^2 x b - b^3
Factor the equation.
Solution:
In order to factor the given equation we first multiply the values of the first term.
= a^2 x b - b^3
= a^2b - b^3
Factor out the greatest common factor, or the lowest degree term. In our case we can factor out b.
= b(a^2 - b^2)
Final answer:
= b(a^2 - b^2)
