👉 In mathematics, a reduction is a process or method used to reduce one mathematical expression into another. It involves identifying and eliminating all instances of variables that are present in both expressions. For example, consider the following two expressions: 1. \(x^2 + y^2\) 2. \(x^3 + y^3\) By reducing these expressions, we can identify that \(x^2\) is a factor of both and can be written as \((x+y)(x-y
