Question 1121125: Hello, I need help with factoring binomials. I was given problems such as x^7 + y^7 and w^12 - z^12, but I don't know how to solve these. I know how to solve simpler problems such as x^3 - 125, but when I get problems with higher exponents I get confused. Can someone explain the process of solving them? Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help.

.

a)    = . 

     See the lesson
         Factoring the binomials    for odd degrees
     in this site.


b)   . 

     It can be factored in several different ways.  One of the ways is THIS:


         =  = ,


     and you can factor  further, since you know how to do it.


     For other way see the lesson

(x+y)(x^6-x^(5)y+x^(4)y^(2)-x^(3)y^3+x^(2)y^(4)-xy^5+y^6
Using this as an example, do the other one.

The 2nd polynomial, when factored, should result in:  after first applying 

DIFFERENCE of TWO SQUARES (DOTS) to the given binomial, and then DIFFERENCE of TWO CUBES (DOTC) to 1 binomial, and finally, SUM of TWO CUBES to 2 other binomials.
