The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing \( x^6 - y^6 \) by the product of \( (x^2 + xy + y^2) \) and \( (x - y) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the expression to divide We need to divide: \[ \frac{x^6 - y^6}{(x^2 + xy + y^2)(x - y)} \] ### Step 2: Factor \( x^6 - y^6 \) We can factor \( x^6 - y^6 \) using the difference of squares: \[ x^6 - y^6 = (x^3 - y^3)(x^3 + y^3) \] Next, we can further factor \( x^3 - y^3 \): \[ x^3 - y^3 = (x - y)(x^2 + xy + y^2) \] Thus, we can express \( x^6 - y^6 \) as: \[ x^6 - y^6 = (x - y)(x^2 + xy + y^2)(x^3 + y^3) \] ### Step 3: Substitute the factored form into the division Now we can substitute this back into our division: \[ \frac{(x - y)(x^2 + xy + y^2)(x^3 + y^3)}{(x^2 + xy + y^2)(x - y)} \] ### Step 4: Cancel the common terms We can cancel the common terms \( (x - y) \) and \( (x^2 + xy + y^2) \): \[ = x^3 + y^3 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the result of the division is: \[ x^3 + y^3 \]
