Expanding the numerator yields (x3+3x2y+3xy2+y3)−(x3−3x2y+3xy2−y3)=6x2y+2y3=2y(3x2+y2)(x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3) - (x^3 - 3x^2y + 3xy^2 - y^3) = 6x^2y + 2y^3 = 2y(3x^2 + y^2). Since the numerator and denominator are identical non-zero expressions, the quotient simplifies to 1.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Expand (x+y)3(x + y)^3 and (x−y)3(x - y)^3 using the binomial theorem.
(x+y)3=x3+3x2y+3xy2+y3(x + y)^3 = x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3 and (x−y)3=x3−3x2y+3xy2−y3(x - y)^3 = x^3 - 3x^2y + 3xy^2 - y^3
Expanding the binomial expressions allows combination of like terms in the numerator.
2
Subtract (x−y)3(x - y)^3 from (x+y)3(x + y)^3.
(x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3) - (x^3 - 3x^2y + 3xy^2 - y^3) = 6x^2y + 2y^3
The terms x3x^3 and 3xy23xy^2 subtract to zero, while the remaining terms double.
3
Factor out common terms from the simplified numerator.
6x2y+2y3=2y(3x2+y2)6x^2y + 2y^3 = 2y(3x^2 + y^2)
Factoring out 2y2y reveals a factor identical to the denominator.
4
Divide the numerator by the denominator 2y(3x2+y2)2y(3x^2 + y^2).
2y(3x2+y2)2y(3x2+y2)=1\frac{2y(3x^2 + y^2)}{2y(3x^2 + y^2)} = 1
Since y≠0y \neq 0 and 3x2+y2≠03x^2 + y^2 \neq 0, identical non-zero factors cancel out.
