Q3 of 65 Page 139

Let us factorize the following algebraic expressions:

8(p – 3)3 + 343

We know, a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)


Given,


8(p – 3)3 + 343


= [8(p – 3)]3 + (7)3


= [8(p – 3) + 7] [{8(p – 3)}2 8(p – 3).7 + 72]


= (8p – 24 + 7) [64(p – 3)2 56(p – 3) + 49]


= (8p – 17) [64(p2 – 6p + 9) 56p + 168 + 49]


= (8p – 17) [64p2 – 384p + 576 56p + 168 + 49]


= (8p – 17) [64p2 – 440p + 793]
