Cube Difference Formula

(a - b)³ = a³ - 3a²b + 3ab² - b³

Your Result

27.000
(5 - 2)³ = 27

Step-by-Step Calculation

Step 1: Calculate (a - b) = 5 - 2 = 3
Step 2: Apply cube formula: a³ - 3a²b + 3ab² - b³
Step 3: Compute individual terms: a³ = 125, 3a²b = 150, 3ab² = 60, b³ = 8
Step 4: Combine terms: 125 - 150 + 60 - 8 = 27

Understanding the Cube Difference Formula

What is the Cube of Difference Formula?

The cube of difference formula is a fundamental algebraic identity that expands the cube of the difference between two terms. The formula is expressed as:

(a - b)³ = a³ - 3a²b + 3ab² - b³

This formula is derived from binomial expansion and is essential in various mathematical fields including algebra, calculus, and physics. It allows for efficient computation without manually multiplying (a - b) three times.
