Factor completely using integer coefficients:
\n" );
document.write( "e)  First, factor an x.
\n" );
document.write( " Now factor the parentheses. I know that my factors here will be two binomials of the form:
\n" );
document.write( " where  and  and  , so m = -2 and n = 8. So the parentheses, when factored, look like:
\n" );
document.write( " , then the final answer is:
\n" );
document.write( " \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "f)  First, factor 2x.
\n" );
document.write( " Now factor the parentheses. I know my factors here will be two binomials of the form: where:   and  so  and  , so the parentheses, when factored, look like:
\n" );
document.write( " , so far we have:
\n" );
document.write( " but notice that  is the difference of two cubes and this can be factored.
\n" );
document.write( " The difference of two cubes is factored thus:
\n" );
document.write( " so, in this case:
\n" );
document.write( " putting it all together, we have:
\n" );
document.write( " \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "j)  Factor as:
\n" );
document.write( " But again, we have the difference of two cubes: , so...
\n" );
document.write( " or:
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( " |
