Q9(i):
Verify : (i) $x^3 + y^3 = (x + y) (x^2 – xy + y^2)$
Solution :
Initial Setup & Algebraic Objective
We are required to rigorously verify the standard algebraic identity for the sum of two cubes. The equation provided is:
$x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)$
To prove this equivalence, we will designate the expressions as follows:
- Left Hand Side (LHS): $x^3 + y^3$
- Right Hand Side (RHS): $(x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)$
Our objective is to expand the RHS and demonstrate that it simplifies exactly to the LHS.
Step 1: Applying the Distributive Property
We begin by expanding the RHS using the distributive property of multiplication over addition [Algebraic Axiom: $a(b + c + d) = ab + ac + ad$]. We must distribute both terms of the binomial $(x + y)$ across the trinomial $(x^2 - xy + y^2)$.
$RHS = x(x^2 - xy + y^2) + y(x^2 - xy + y^2)$
Step 2: Term-by-Term Algebraic Expansion
Next, we perform the scalar multiplication for each distributed component, applying the laws of exponents [Specifically, the Product Rule: $a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}$].
Expanding the first cluster:
- $x \cdot (x^2) = x^3$
- $x \cdot (-xy) = -x^2y$
- $x \cdot (y^2) = xy^2$
Resulting polynomial segment: $x^3 - x^2y + xy^2$
Expanding the second cluster:
- $y \cdot (x^2) = x^2y$
- $y \cdot (-xy) = -xy^2$
- $y \cdot (y^2) = y^3$
Resulting polynomial segment: $x^2y - xy^2 + y^3$
Step 3: Aggregating and Simplifying Like Terms
We now combine both expanded segments into a single, unified polynomial expression:
$RHS = x^3 - x^2y + xy^2 + x^2y - xy^2 + y^3$
To simplify, we group the "like terms" (terms containing the exact same variables raised to the exact same powers) using the Commutative Property of Addition:
$RHS = x^3 + (-x^2y + x^2y) + (xy^2 - xy^2) + y^3$
| Like Term Group | Operation | Result (Additive Inverse) |
|---|---|---|
| $x^2y$ terms | $-x^2y + x^2y$ | $0$ |
| $xy^2$ terms | $xy^2 - xy^2$ | $0$ |
Because these pairs are additive inverses of one another, they sum to zero and cancel out completely.
Step 4: Final Equivalence
Substituting the zeroed terms back into the equation yields:
$RHS = x^3 + 0 + 0 + y^3$
$RHS = x^3 + y^3$
Comparing this result to our initial setup, we observe that the simplified RHS is identical to the LHS.
$LHS = RHS$
Final Solution: The identity $x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)$ is rigorously verified.
