A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables. Factoring polynomials involves breaking up a polynomial into simpler terms (the factors) such that when the terms are multiplied together they equal the original polynomial.
The given expression is 127a3. Factor the given expression by simplifying and then using sum of two cubes pattern as follows:
127a3=1333a3
(1)3+(3a)3
=(1+(3a))(12(1)(3a)+(3a)2)
Use sum of two cubes pattern a3+b3=(a+b)(a2ab+b2)
=(13a)(1+3a+9a2)
=(13a)(9a2+3a+1) - Factored form.
Hence, the factored form of given expression is equal to 127a3=(13a)(9a2+3a+1).
