\(P = 2a^3 + 7a^2b + 7ab^2 + 2b^3\)
\(=2a^3+2a^2b+5a^2b+5ab^2+2ab^2+2b^3\)
\(=2a^2(a+b)+5ab(a+b)+2b^2(a+b) \)
\(=(2a^2+5ab+2b^2)(a+b)\)
\(=(2a^2+4ab+ab+2b^2)(a+b)\)
\(=[2a(a+2b)+b(a+2b)](a+b)\)
\(=(2a+b)(2b+a)(a+b)\)
P=2a3+7a2b+7ab2+2b3
=2a3+2a2b+5a2b+5ab2+2ab2+2b2
=(2a3+2a2b)+(5a2b+5ab2)+(2ab2+2b3)
=2a2(a+b)+5ab(a+b)+2b2(a+b)
=(a+b)(2a2+5ab+2b2)
=(a+b)[2a2+4ab+ab+2b2]
=(a+b)[2a(a+2b)+b(a+2b)]
=(a+b)(2a+b)(a+2b)
