Factoring the Sum of Two Cubes:
Step 1: Get the binomial factor
Cube root of the first term: y
Cube root of the second term: 5
The binomial factor is y + 5
Step 2: Get the trinomial factor
Square of the first term of the binomial factor: y%5E2
Negative Product of the first and second term of the binomial factors = -5y
Square of the second term of the binomial factor: 25
The trinomial factor is y%5E2+-+5y+%2B+25
Step 3: The factored form of y%5E3+%2B+125 is highlight%28%28y+%2B+5%29%28y%5E2+-+5y+%2B+25%29%29.
