Find the product:(x3 – y3) (x2 + y2)

Answer»

(x3 – y3) (x2 + y2)

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= x3, b= y3, c= x2, d= y2

Now,

= x3 × (x2 + y2) – y3 × (x2 + y2)

= [(x3 × x2) + (x3 × y2)] – [(y3 × x2) + (y3 × y2)]

= [x5 + x3y2 – y3x2 – y5]
