Question 364564: May I please have some help factoring this equation:
+3ab%28a%2Bb%29%2Ba%5E3%2Bb%5E3+
I have the answer key and it has this work written out:
+3ab%28a%2Bb%29%2B%28a%2Bb%29%28a%5E2-ab%2Bb%5E2%29+
%28a%2Bb%29%28a%5E2%2B2ab%2Bb%5E2%29+
+%28a%2Bb%29%28a%2Bb%29%28a%2Bb%29+
+%28a%2Bb%29%5E3+
It seems to me like the answer is missing an "%28a%2Bb%29". If so, could you please let me know, and if not, can you please tell me why?
Thank you very much!
