    College Algebra
    Chapter 1/Section 4

    How is this done? Use LaTex or Wolfram. Thanks.

    first factor (x^5-a^5)

    then we have

    Apply factoring rule :
    x^n+y^n= (x+y ) (x^(n-1)-x^(n-2)y+...... -xy^(n-2)+y^(n-1)), where n is odd

    I would like to see the factoring work, if you don't mind.

    just apply rule and and use n=5

    x^5+a^5= (x+a ) (x^(5-1)a^(5-5) -x^(5-2)a^(5-4)+x^(5-3)a^(5-3)-x^(5-4)a^(5-2)+x^(5-5)a^(5-1))
    x^5+a^5= (x+a ) (x^4a^0 -x^3a^1+x^2a^2-x^1a^3+x^0a^4)
    x^5+a^5= (x+a ) (x^4 -x^3a+x^2a^2-xa^3+a^4)

    Interestingly difficult.
