Factorise : 27a3  – b3  – 1 – 9ab

(a) (3a + b - 1)(9a2 + b2 + 1 - 3ab + 3a - b)

(b) (3a - b - 1)(9a2 - b2 + 1 + 3ab + 3a - b)

(c) (3a + b + 1)(9a2 + b2 + 1 + 3ab + 3a - b)

(d) (3a - b - 1)(9a2 + b2 + 1 + 3ab + 3a - b)

(d) (3a - b - 1)(9a2 + b2 + 1 + 3ab + 3a - b)

27a3 - b3 - 1 - 9ab

= (3a)3 + (-b)3 + (-1)3 - 3 x 3a x (-b) x (-1)

= [3a + (-b) + (-1)][(-3a)2 + (-b)2 + (-1)2 - 3a x (-b) - (-b) x (-1) - 3a x (-1)]

 = (3a - b - 1)(9a2 + b2 + 1 + 3ab + b - 3a)

[∴ a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)]
