(a^2+2ab-b^2)(a^2-7ab+b^2) Found 3 solutions by vertciel, checkley75, rapaljer:Answer by vertciel(183) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (a^2 + 2ab - b^2)(a^2 - 7ab + b^2)
= a^4 - 7a^3b + a^2b^2 + 2a^3b - 14a^2b^2 + 2ab^3 - a^2b^2 + 7ab^3 - b^4
I'll pass it onto you now.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A^2+2AB-B^2
A^2-7AB+B^2
--------------------
A^4+2A^3B-A^2B^2-7A^3B-14A^2B^2+7AB^3+A^2B^2+2AB^3-B^4 NOW COMBINE LIKE TERMS.
A^4-5A^3B+9AB^3-B^4.

Multiply the first times everything in the second parentheses:
Next, multiply 2ab times everything in the second parentheses:
Last, multiply times everything in the second parentheses:
Now, combine like terms:
