2(a-b)^2 - (a-b)^3 + (b-a)
2(a-b)^2 - (a-b)^3 - (-b+a)
2(a-b)^2 - (a-b)^3 - (a - b)
2(a-b)^2 - (a-b)^3 - (a - b)
(a-b)^3 -2 (a-b)^2 + (a - b)
(a – 1) is the common factor
(a – b)[(a – b)^2 – 2(a-b) +1]
Note: x^2 – 2x + 1 = (x – 1)^2
(a – b)[(a – b) - 1] [(a – b) - 1]
(a – b)[a – b - 1] [a – b - 1]
(a – b)(a – b - 1 )^2
2(a-b)^2 - (a-b)^3 + (b-a) = (a – b)(a – b - 1 )^2 (Answer)
