Find the product:(x2 – a2) (x – a) |
|
Answer» (x2 – a2) (x – a) Suppose (a – b) and (c – d) are two binomials. By using the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice, we may find their product as given below. (a – b) × (c – d) = a × (c – d) – b × (c – d) = (a × c – a × d) – (b × c – b × d) = ac – ad – bc + bd Let, a= x2, b= a2, c= x, d= a Now, = x2 × (x – a) – a2 × (x – a) = [(x2 × x) + (x2 × -a)] – [(a2 × x) + (a2 × -a)] = [x3 – x2a – a2x + a3] |
