Question

Write the expression as a product of expressions.

(Factor this expression.)
`a^{3}b^{3}-a^{2}b^{2}-a^{2}c^{2}`

PLEASE HELP THIS IS URGENT

Answer 1

`a^2(ab^(3)-b^(2)-c^(2))`

Explanation:

Given

`a^(3)b^(3)-a^(2)b^(2)-a^(2)c^(2)`

Required

Factor

`a^(3)b^(3)-a^(2)b^(2)-a^(2)c^(2)`

Factor out
`a^2`

`a^2(ab^(3)-b^(2)-c^(2))`

The expression cannot be further factored
