| ① | Find $ \left(6+dx\right)^3 $ using formula $$ (A + B) = A^3 + 3A^2B + 3AB^2 + B^3 $$where $ A = 6 $ and $ B = dx $. $$ \left(6+dx\right)^3 = 6^3+3 \cdot 6^2 \cdot dx + 3 \cdot 6 \cdot \left( dx \right)^2+\left( dx \right)^3 = 216+108dx+18d^2x^2+d^3x^3 $$Find $ \left(5+dx\right)^3 $ using formula $$ (A + B) = A^3 + 3A^2B + 3AB^2 + B^3 $$where $ A = 5 $ and $ B = dx $. $$ \left(5+dx\right)^3 = 5^3+3 \cdot 5^2 \cdot dx + 3 \cdot 5 \cdot \left( dx \right)^2+\left( dx \right)^3 = 125+75dx+15d^2x^2+d^3x^3 $$ |
| ② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 125+75dx+15d^2x^2+d^3x^3 \right) = -125-75dx-15d^2x^2-d^3x^3 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{216} + \color{red}{108dx} + \color{green}{18d^2x^2} + \, \color{orange}{ \cancel{d^3x^3}} \, \color{blue}{-125} \color{red}{-75dx} \color{green}{-15d^2x^2} \, \color{orange}{ -\cancel{d^3x^3}} \, = \color{green}{3d^2x^2} + \color{red}{33dx} + \color{blue}{91} $$ |
