Answer:
Easily get the product of (a + b)³ or (a + b)(a + b)(a + b) by using the Cube of a Binomial Formula.
Formula (F stands for first term while L stands for last term):
(F + L)³ = F³ + (3)(F)²(L) + (3)(F)(L)² + L³
- Cube the first term.
- Multiply 3 to the square of the first term then multiply again with the last term.
- Multiply 3 to the first term then multiply again to the square of the last term.
- Cube the last term.
Example:
(2a + 4b)³ = (2a)³ + (3)(2a)²(4b) + (3)(2a)(4b)² + (4b)³
= 8a³ + (3)(4a²)(4b) + (3)(2a)(16b²) + 64b³
= 8a³ + (12a²)(4b) + (6a)(16b²) + 64b³
= 8a³ + 48a²b + 96ab² + 64b³
