Question

A(b^2+c^2+bc) + b(c^2+a^2+ca) + c(a^2+b^2+ab)

Answer 1

(a-b)(b-c)(a-c)

Explanation:

a^2(b - c) + b^2(c-a) + c^2(a - b)

= a^2b - a^2c + b^2c - b^2a + c^2a-c^2b

=a^2b - b^2a - a^2c + b^2c + c^2a -c^2b

= ab(a - b) - c(a^2 - b^2) +c^2(a - b)

=ab(a - b) -c(a - b)(a + b) +c^2(a - b)

=(a - b)(ab - c(a + b) +c^2)

=(a - b)(ab - cb -ca + c^2)

= (a - b)(b(a-c) -c(a-c))

=(a-b)(b-c)(a-c)
