\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3%2B64\" Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%29%5E3%2B%284%29%5E3\" Rewrite \"x%5E3\" as \"%28x%29%5E3\". Rewrite \"64\" as \"%284%29%5E3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%28%28x%29%5E2-%28x%29%284%29%2B%284%29%5E2%29\" Now factor by using the sum of cubes formula. Remember the sum of cubes formula is \"A%5E3%2BB%5E3=%28A%2BB%29%28A%5E2-AB%2BB%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%28x%5E2-4x%2B16%29\" Multiply\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"x%5E3%2B64\" factors to \"%28x%2B4%29%28x%5E2-4x%2B16%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"x%5E3%2B64=%28x%2B4%29%28x%5E2-4x%2B16%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So to find the roots of \"x%5E3%2B64\", just find the roots of \"%28x%2B4%29%28x%5E2-4x%2B16%29\". In other words, solve the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%28x%5E2-4x%2B16%29=0\"
