Question 1139471: Sum or Difference of Cubes:
Example 3.Fill in the parts of the step-by-step process of factoring a difference of cubes.
We want to factor x^3-8
Step 1: Is this a sum or difference of cubes? Y or N?___
If Yes, construct a template for the sum or difference of two cubes.
a^3+b^3 OR a^3-b^3
Step 2:
(__)^3+(__)^3 or (___)^3-(___)^3 Fill in the appropriate bases.
Step 3: Use this pattern to construct the templates
(a^3+b^3)=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2) OR (a^3-b^3)=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)
a+b a^2-ab+b^2 OR a-b a^2+ab+b^2
Step 4:(_______)(__________) or (_____)(_____)Insert the bases in the template.
Step 5: Write the factors of x^3-8= Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, ikleyn:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
