Question 81315: The volume of rubber(in cubic centimeters)in a hollow rubber ball used in raquetball is given by V=4/3 pie R^3-4/3pie r^3 where the inside radius is r centimeters and the outside radius is R centimeters
a. rewrite the formula by factoring the right hand side completely
can you please give me step by step so I know how to set this up thanks
Answer by tutor_paul(519) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

To factor something, identify the common factors to each of the 2 terms on the right side of the eqation. The common factors are and . Next, you can apply the distributive property to "pull out" those common factors as follows:

The right side is now in "factored" form, so you are done.
Good Luck,
