Question

Factorize  8a3 – 27b3 – 36a2b + 54ab2

Sum

Solution

8a3 - 27b3 - 36a2b + 54ab2

= (2a)3 - (3b)3 - 3 × (2a)2 3b + 3(2a)(3b)2

= (2a - 3b)3                             [∵  a3 - b3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 = (a - b)3 ]

= (2a - 3b)(2a - 3b)(2a - 3b)

∴ 8a3 - 27b3 - 36a2b + 54ab2  = (2a - 3b)(2a - 3b)(2a - 3b)
