Answer:

a³ +b³ = (a +b)(a² -ab +b²)

Explanation:

The patterns for factoring the sum and difference of cubes are similar. The sign of the second term in each factor is reversed from one pattern to the other.

a³ -b³ = (a -b)(a² +ab +b²)

a³ +b³ = (a +b)(a² -ab +b²) . . . . . pattern for factoring sum of cubes
