Question

How can sums and differences of cubes be identified for factoring?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The sum of two perfect cubes breaks down into two factors, the first is the sum of their cube roots, and the second is made up of the square of the first root minus the product of both roots plus the square of the second root.

The difference of two perfect cubes is decomposed into two factors, the first is the difference of their cube roots, and the second is made up of the square of the first root plus the product of both roots plus the square of the second root.
