Question 858343: Factoring polynominal help please
x^3-343
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the cube root of 343 is 7.
your problem becomes:
(x^3 - 7^3)
this follows the form of (x^3 - a^3) = (x - a) * (x^2 + ax + a^2)
your factored equation is:
(x-7)(x^2+7x+49)
the following link discusses factoring of polynomials.

the particular sections involved in this type of problem are:
factoring the sum of two cubes.
factoring the difference of two cubes.
you can see the excerpts from those two sections below:
