\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28a%5E3%29%5E2-%28b%5E3%29%5E2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28a%5E3-b%5E3%29%28a%5E3%2Bb%5E3%29\"$ .....use the rule for factoring $\"%28a%5E3-b%5E3%29\"$ and $\"%28a%5E3%2Bb%5E3%29\"$ : $\"a%5E3-b%5E3=%28a-b%29%28a%5E2-ab%2Bb%5E2%29\"$ and $\"a%5E3%2Bb%5E3=%28a%2Bb%29%28a%5E2%2Bab%2Bb%5E2%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, we have:\r
