You can put this solution on YOUR website!
simplify $\"%28x%5E3-x%5E2%29%2F%281-x%5E3%29\"$ = $\"x%5E2%28x-1%29%2F%281-x%5E3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out -1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%28x-1%29%2F-1%28x%5E3-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the difference of cubes =
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%28x-1%29%2F%28-1%28x-1%29%28x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel (x-1)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2F-1%28x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29\"$ = $\"-x%5E2%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29\"$ \r
