Explanation:
"Given " (x+a)(x+b)(x+c)" then expansion is"Given (x+a)(x+b)(x+c) then expansion is
x^3+(a+b+c)x^2+(ab+bc+ac)x+abcx3+(a+b+c)x2+(ab+bc+ac)x+abc
rArr(x-3)^3⇒(x−3)3
=(x-3)(x-3)(x-3)=(x−3)(x−3)(x−3)
"with " a=b=c=-3with a=b=c=−3
rArr(x-3)^3⇒(x−3)3
=x^3+(-3-3-3)x^2+(9+9+9)x=x3+(−3−3−3)x2+(9+9+9)x
color(white)(xx)+(-3)(-3)-3)×+(−3)(−3)−3)
=x^3-9x^2+27x-27=x3−9x2+27x−27

An alternate way to work it using binomial expansion
Explanation:
An alternate way to do this is to use Binomial Expansion, which uses the general formula of:
So here we have:
a=x b=-3 n=3
and we add them up:
