Which polynomial expression represents a sum of cubes? (6 – s)(s2 + 6s + 36) (6 + s)(s2 – 6s – 36) (6 + s)(s2 – 6s + 36) (6 + s)(s2 + 6s + 36)
Answer:
Option 3 is correct that is \((6+s)(s^2-6s+36)\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have general formula for sum of cube which is
\(a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2+b^2-ab)\)
Here, we have a=s and b=6
on substituting the values in the formula we will get
\(6^3+s^3=(6+s)(s^2+6^2-6s)\)
After simplification we will get
\(6^3+s^3=(6+s)(s^2+36-6s)\)
After rearranging the terms we will get
\(6^3+s^3=(6+s)(s^2-6s+36)\) which exactly matches option 3 in the given options.
Therefore, option 3 is correct that is \((6+s)(s^2-6s+36)\)
