Factorise: a7 + ab6.

Solution
straight a to the power of 7 plus ab to the power of 6
equals space straight a left parenthesis straight a to the power of 6 plus straight b to the power of 6 right parenthesis
equals space straight a left curly bracket left parenthesis straight a squared right parenthesis cubed plus left parenthesis straight b squared right parenthesis cubed right curly bracket
equals space straight a left parenthesis straight a squared plus straight b squared right parenthesis space left curly bracket left parenthesis straight a squared right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis straight b squared right parenthesis squared minus left parenthesis straight a squared right parenthesis left parenthesis straight b squared right parenthesis right curly bracket
equals space straight a left parenthesis straight a squared plus straight b squared right parenthesis left parenthesis straight a to the power of 4 plus straight b to the power of 4 minus straight a squared straight b squared right parenthesis
equals space straight a left parenthesis straight a squared plus straight b squared right parenthesis left parenthesis straight a to the power of 4 plus straight b to the power of 4 plus 2 straight a squared straight b squared space minus space 2 straight a squared straight b squared space minus straight a squared straight b squared right parenthesis
equals straight a left parenthesis straight a squared plus straight b squared right parenthesis space left curly bracket left parenthesis straight a squared plus straight b squared right parenthesis squared minus left parenthesis square root of 3 ab right parenthesis squared right curly bracket
equals space straight a left parenthesis straight a squared plus straight b squared right parenthesis left parenthesis straight a squared plus straight b squared minus square root of 3 space ab right parenthesis space
