Step 1: Identify the expression and check for factors.
The expression to factorize is P(a,b,c)=a3(b−c)+b3(c−a)+c3(a−b)P(a,b,c) = a^3(b-c) + b^3(c-a) + c^3(a-b).
This is a cyclic expression.
If we substitute a=ba=b into the expression:
P(b,b,c)=b3(b−c)+b3(c−b)+c3(b−b)P(b,b,c) = b^3(b-c) + b^3(c-b) + c^3(b-b)
P(b,b,c)=b3(b−c)−b3(b−c)+c3(0)P(b,b,c) = b^3(b-c) - b^3(b-c) + c^3(0)
P(b,b,c)=0P(b,b,c) = 0.
