In this problem, you need to factor the numerator by applying the special factor condition known as the \"sum of cubes\". For a complete explanation see:
\n" ); document.write( "http://www.purplemath.com/modules/specfact2.htm
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288m%5E3+%2B+27%29%2F%282m%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "is equivalent to:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%282m%29%5E3+%2B+%283%29%5E3%29%2F%282m%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now, we can apply the \"sum of cubes\" rule of:
\n" ); document.write( "a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 – ab + b^2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282m%2B3%29%28%282m%29%5E2-%282m%29%283%29%2B%283%29%5E2%29%2F%282m%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The (2m+3) cancels leaving:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282m%29%5E2-%282m%29%283%29%2B%283%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Expanding:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4m%5E2-6m%2B9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
