Simplify the following (2x + 3y + 4z)

(2x + 3y + 4z) (4x2 + 9y2 + 16z2 – 6xy – 12yz – 8zx).

Answer :

(2x + 3y + 4z) (4x2 + 9y2 + 16z2 – 6xy – 12yz – 8zx)

It can be written as

= (2x + 3y + 4z) ((2x)2 + (3y)2 + (4z)2 – 2x × 3y – 3y × 4z – 4z × 2x)

By further calculation

= (2x)3 + (3y)3 + (4z)3 – 3 × 2x × 3y × 4z

So we get

= 8x3 + 27y3 + 64z3 – 72xyz
