You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula for factoring the difference of two perfect cubes is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E3-b%5E3=%28a-b%29%28a%5E2%2Bab%2Bb%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E3-8%29=%28y%2Ay%2Ay-2%2A2%2A2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore we have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E3-2%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "a=y and b=2 Plug them into your formula and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E3-8=%28y-2%29%28y%5E2%2By%2A2%2B2%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E3-8=highlight%28%28y-2%29%28y%5E2%2B2y%2B4%29%29\"
