1. can x 3+8 be factored explainA) no because x3 and 8 do not have any common factors.B) no, because a sum of cubes cannot be factored.C) Yes, because a sum of cubes can be factoredD) yes, because x³ and 8 both share a common factor2. determine whether each identity is true or falseA) a²-2ab+b²= (a+b) (a-b) true or falseB) a²-b²= (a+b) (a+b) true or falseC) a²+2ab+b²= (a+b) (a+b) true or falseD) a²-b³= (a-b) (a²+ab+b) true or false

\begin{gathered} Asumofcubescanbefactoredusingthiseasyequation\colon \\ a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-2ab+b^2) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} A)(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\text{ which is different of (a+b)(a-b)} \\ B)a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b) \\ C)\text{ }a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b) \\ D)a^2-b^3\text{ can not be factorized as (}a-b)(a^2+ab+b)\text{ because this last equations is a 3rd degre}e\text{ equation in a} \end{gathered}
