Simplify :

(5x – 7y)³ + (5x + 7y)³

Answer

(5x – 7y)³ + (5x + 7y)³
= [(5x)³ – 3(5x)²(7y) + 3(5x)(7y)² – (7y)³] + [(5x)³ + 3(5x)² (7y) + 3(5x) (7y)² +(7y)³]
… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³, (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³]
= (125x³ – 525x²y + 735xy² – 343y³) + (125x³ + 525x²y + 735xy² + 343y³)
= 125x³ – 525x²y + 735xy² – 343y³ + 125x³ + 525x²y + 735xy² + 343y³
= 125x³ + 125x³ – 525x²y + 525x²y + 735xy² + 735xy² – 343y³ + 343y³
= 250x³ + 1470xy²
