Developmental Activity: DO-PAIR-SHARE

Find the product of (x+y) (x2-xy+y2) individually,

compare your answers with your pair and decide with
your final answer. Choose your product below and
justify your answer.
a. x3-y3
b. x3+y3
c. x3+2xy+2xy2+y3

 If we multiply: x2- xy +y2

by x+y
________________
X3 –x2y + xy2
+x2y- xy2 +y3
__________________
we arrive at x3 +y3

 Likewise, if we multiply:
x2 + xy + y2
by x-y
________________
X3 + x2y + xy2
-x2 y - xy2 - y3
__________________
we arrive at x3 -y3

From the above multiplication, we can say that as long as the binomial is of the form (x+y)
and the trinomial is of the form (x2-xy+y2), then the product would simply be the cube of the
first term of the binomial plus the cube of the second term of the binomial. In the same
manner, if the binomial is of the form (x-y) and the trinomial is of the form (x2+ xy+y2), then
their product would be the cube of the first term of the binomial minus the cube of the
second term of the binomial. Take note that the trinomial is related to the binomial where the
first term is the square of the first term of the binomial, the second term is the
product of the two terms with the opposite sign, and the last term is the square of the
second term of the given binomial.
Illustrative Examples:
Find the producst of the following
1. ( x+1) (x2- x + 1) = x3 + 1 2. ( x-2 ) ( x2 + 2x +4)= x3 - 8
 2. Analysis
a. How many terms are in the product?
b. What consists the first factor of the product??
c. How is the first factor related to the second factor of the product?
d. What trinomial should be multiplied to x-1 to get x3-1?
e. Using the methods outlined in the previous problems,what should be multiplied
to x+2 to ge x3+8?

5. Generalization
The factors (x + y )( x2-xy +y2 ) have the following characteristics:
a. The first term of the trinomial is the square of the first term of the binomial
b. The second term of the trinomial is the additive inverse of the product of the
first and second terms of the binomial
c. The third term of the trinomial is the square of the second term of the binomial
